Island Of Doom Lyrics:
Destiny made her way and found you in a room,
They told me, they told me:
To undo the rule of mind and body,
And nature laughed away as their voices grew.
They told me, They told me:
“Clean out the room and bury the body”.
But I know you with a heartbeat
So how does the night feel?
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
“Haven’t walked for days though I wanted to”
You told me, you told me:
“For with every move the feeling follows”,
“In nature’s empty face, I am of little use”,
You told me, you told me:
“I’m just another fool for the earth to swallow”.
But the road through mines will lead you back,
and I will be with you
Before the road of your mind will eat you up,
on your island of doom
Where the voices have all gathered up,
to a choir of fools
But I know my mind will reach you there,
and I will be with you.
Oh I know you with a heartbeat
So how does the night feel?
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone
And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
Why you wake me up today?
Why you wake me up today?
One two three four five.
