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 Devils Island,
The final stop for me
Chorus:
Devils Island, Devils 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
Chorus (repeat):
Devils Island, [here I stay,]' Devils 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 heavens opened,
Rain began to fall
The final judgement came, and
Was spread before you all
Final judgement
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
Chorus (repeat):
Devils Island, Devils Island
[Devils Island, Devils Island]
Here I am
Chorus (repeat [4 times]):
Devils Island, Devils Island
