Devils Island - Intellectual

[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]

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

Here on Devil's Island, the final stop for me

Devil's Island

Oh, there is no escape, the sea is full of sharks

Tide takes you away and smash you on the rock

The sun is shining, but feel not today

Its warmth, it's dying and fading away

Devil's Island

Here I stay, 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 sermon 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 judgment came and was spread before you all!

Final judgment...

Old, weak, and feeble, and the lesson taught to me

Stay away from evil, she doesn't care for me

She haunts me in my sleep, though I tore that page away

Here on Devil's Island, I'll always have to stay

Devil's Island

Devil's Island, here I am

Devil's Island, Devil's Island
