Megadeth Devil's Island Lyrics

The light that fills my lonely cell
is blocked out by the key
that locks the door to this hell,
the place they wanted me
Time's racing like the wind
Execution's near
Oh lord, I wait for death,
and yes, I have no fear
I recall that night, my every breath
and step along the way
Closed my eyes, walking,
as danger paved the way
The devil and the darkness
let her evil wander free
and, here on Devil's Island,
the final stop for me

Devil's Island, Devil's Island

Oh, there is no escape,
the sea is full of sharks
The tide takes you away and
smashes you on the rocks
The sun is shining,
but feel not today
It's warmth, it's dying,
and fading away

Devil's Island, Devil's Island

Oh, hear the call,
from the grave beyond
Oh, so pernicious,
her soul it creates song
As there is no man, that is
here upon the Earth
Able to terminate our
noisome will since birth
The priest that reads the sermons
is walking next to me,
to the stake, my last request
to have her burn with me
But, so it did, the Heaven's opened,
rain began to fall
The final judgement came, and
was spread before you all

Final judgement

[Solo: Dave Mustaine]

Old, weak and feeble,
but the lesson taught to me
to stay away from evil
She doesn't care for me
She haunts me in my sleep
Though I tore that page away
and, here on Devils Island,
I'll always have to stay

Devil's Island, Devil's Island
Devil's Island, Devil's Island

[Solo: Chris Poland]

Devil's Island, Devil's Island
Devil's Island, Devil's Island
Devil's Island, Devil's Island
Devil's Island, Devil's Island
