[Verse 1]
[C]The light that fills my lonely cell is [C#]blocked out by the key
That [D]locks the door to this hell,
[Eb5]the place they wanted me
[C]Time's racing like the wind,
[C#]execution's near
[D]Oh, Lord, I wait for death,
and [Eb5]yes, I have no fear

[Verse 2]
I re[C]call that night,
my every breath [C#]and step along [C]the way
[C#]Clos[D]ed my eyes,
walking as [Eb5]danger paved the way
[C]The Devil and the darkness,
let her [C#]evil wander free
[D]Here on Devils Island,
the [Eb5]final stop for me
[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Devils Island

[Verse 4]
Devils Island
[C]Oh, there is no escape,
[C#]the sea is full of sharks
[D]Tide takes you away and smashes
[Eb5]you on the rocks
[C]The sun is shining, but [C#]feel not today
Its [D]warmth, it's dying and
[Eb5]fading away
[C]

[Verse 5]
Devil's Island
Here I stay

[Verse 6]
Oh, hear the [C]call from [C5]the grave bey[C]ond
[C5]Oh, [C]so pernicious,
her [Eb5]soul i[C]t crea[Eb5]tes song[C][F5]
[C]As there is no man that is
here upon the Earth
Able to termin[Eb5]ate our noisome
will since [C]birth

[Verse 7]
The priest that reads the [C]sermon
is walking next to me
To the stake, my last [Eb5]re quest,
[C]to have her burn with me
But, so [Cm]it did, the [C]heavens [Eb5]opened,
[Cm]rain began to fall
[C]The final judgment came and[Eb5] was spread
[C]before [D]you [C]all![D][C][D]

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 8]
[C]Old, weak, and feeble,
and the les[C#]son taught to me
[D]Stay away from [C]evil,
she does[Eb5]n't ca[Eb]re for me
She [C]haunts me in my sleep,
though I [Db]tore that page [C]away
[D]Here on Devils Island,
I'll al[Eb5]ways have to stay
[C]
