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,
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.

Megadeth Devil's Island Comments
I didnt know there really is an Island called Devils Island. An old prison. Only few survived
..in my playlist of Metal, this is the best album! And the snare sound is it!!
Rhythm guitar heaven.
Who can tell me the order of the solos? which is Chris Poland's and which is Dave Mustaine's?
I believe intro and first solo is Mustaine, the ending one is from Poland.
Love you Dave!
Haha, maybe death's pull the plug was inspired much by this intro~~
Especially Dave
God bless everything
Mexico City
Awesome to see Dave M. Is making a remarkable recovery!!
unpopular opinion here, mustaines voice is an instrument in itself, i mean the guy just spits the sickest rhymes and fits all of the songs perfectly
Devil salad
1:53 oh my god!!!!!!!!! Very very best yeah!!!!!!!!!¡¡
The intro sounds a lot like pull the plug by death.
I love 80's reverb on vocals
Neveilles island neveilles island
Jello Salad!!!
4:15 is a badass part
ATTENTION.WATERED DOWN POSERS THIS IS. METAL. LOUD RUDE ABRASIVE OFFENSIVE. AND TALENTED
This os true bullshit
Most of Megadeth albums rule but ths one is the most awesome :)
Best intro ever
Perdon si lo siento te curaras tu y tu banda perdon
Nunca me odies my friend voy a buscar una cura si hasta ahora deniego amoladoras policia boliviana
Y vehiculos y cierras mecanicas perdon my estimado etes tu perdoname amigo si curaras con Dios Amen !
Curare con Dios Amen !
FINAL JUDGEMENT! best part!
I don't see how this album alone didn't blew up metallic...
y love you megadeth im spanish
Hoping for a speedy recovery Dave 🤘
Dave too...
DEVIL'S SALAD!!!
Haven't listened to this for years, then it somehow enters my head, chucks me down the stairs and throws me out into the street. Great and intricate work which can't be copied or imitated.
See that label to the south west/ Lower left?
Put there because three congress women had nothing better to do. Dee Snyder, Ozzy and Judas Priest was in court because of whammen not having anything to do....So the compromize was setting a label. Shitty if you ask me.
Why do I hear Metallica's 'Battery' everytime I hear this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsks5L2QPO0
This should have been on the Godzilla 2 movie.
I'm sorry but I must be the only person that hear NIPPLE SALAD instead of devil's Island lol
for sale
Megadeth what can you say...fuckin speechless
One of the best..
Chris Poland solos are just so classy.
METAL 80S STYLE IN YOUR FACE MOTHER FUCKERS
What happened to the "Here I am" in the ending? Or is that anothet song
Watched them at monsters of rock,donington park,1988.i was only 13yrs old!?..lol
Intro 0.75 = Black Sabbath Electric funeral riff
He can't play and sing it with this ferocity anymore thanks to all the drugs over the years. SAD!
Drumming and rhythm playing on this are untouchable. Best of the classic thrash bands (this lineup), hands down.
A PIRATES LIFE FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I love this song, thank you Megadeth 🤘
I'm never able to play this song loud enough.
I need to go rent out a stadium or something.
megadeth are just riffs, thr voice of mustaine are equal voice's duck 😂😂
Dave Mustaine, ladies and headbangers! Though the guy can get pretty carried away most of the time 🙃😑 He still will remain as one of the biggest legends in heavy metal history.
Outstanding song and incredible lyrics. This is Megadeth!
01:04 laughing at my internet 🤣
Dr. Monro's Island
2:49 XD
♪♫♪♫♎☠\m/☠♎♫♪♫♪=^-^=☠♎ KC3AGI =^-^= O.C. Rebel♎☠=^-^=♪♫♪♫♎☠\m/☠♎♫♪♫♪
i was a kid when this album hit the store, i'm 49 now and is getting harder to bang my head, but here i am, i don't mind my neck pain... 80;s the best!!!!
isolated but not alone
Jello salad! (can't unhear it now, can you?)
Andy M that couldn't be more true! This is one heavy muther fucker!
sounds like pull the plug or vice versab both great bands tho
the island didn't do anything bad but the people who from far away come there with thier gangs admitted that that is their island, they are the devils, UNtolo, justicia y libertad
This song omg!
2018 anyone. Intro still gives me the chills since the day I first heard it.
Chevere
I am still representin this in 2018 .. Fuk today's music .
Hell yeah
LLEVO UN SABLE!!!
DEVILS ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love it
america is good unless you are mexican children
randall scott burress ???
"If I only had a brain?"
randall scott burress What are you talking about?
Intro is fantastic.
Masterpeice album....32 years later..its still fukn killer..dont think any new metal bands can do that...besides power trip ..them kids fukn jam .chek out nitemare logic..
Luv it so much. I play bass and love Dave Jr’s bass playing on songs such as dis one. Yeh, other than that, go Megadeth:).
Can't imagine the vibe in the room. Gar shooting up half alive, Chris pawning his handmade BC Rich guitars allegedly for heroin then they all come together and play some of the rawest jams in any genre of music.
@Andy M i want to smoke some bud with Dave and get better guitar lessons i know how to play a little bit but for Dave Mustaine to teach you how to play guitar would be epic as fuck
Why are you romanticizing stupid, self-destructive behavior? If you grew up in a shitty environment, there's no "cool vibe" to being around strung out junkies. It's the same old shit you've been trying to escape your whole life.
Spot on statement😂😂
@Gregory Davis liar from so far so good was about Chris lying about pawning their equipment
@Josh yeah i know Chris Poland was one of the best guitarist's for Daves band but Dave and David thought it wouldn't work with Chris and Gar in the band. anymore.
Gar "fucking" Samuelson...
You ARE missed.
His voice is perfect
Devil Silent
LoL Kefalonia! Go there, it's a awesome to go there. LoL

😱 This song has over 666k views... is that brutal or what?
love this haha
nailed view 666,000
the riff at 1.53 holy shit
Here, on Devils Island- where Ill always have to stay!
is it the original version? sounds rlly different than the ``remaster´´ version
Gar Samuelson stomped all other Megadeth drummers into the ground. R.I.P.
Until Chris Adler of course.
@DirtSoul89 I liked nick menza
Not Menza
Ohh yeah 😎
JERUSALEM!
Devil's Eyelid
Anyone else misheard lyric as "Nipples I Lick" instead of Devils Island 😂🤣😅😀
When did this song come out?
Mike Head 1986
NEVILLES' EYELID
This is where Thrash Metal was invading my school along with Van Halen and Green Day. As well as Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura, and Anthrax.
Megadeth has always been my favorite band, for over a decade now. No band on earth invokes the feelings and emotions that Megadeth invokes in me, it brings out such different thoughts and different points of views that im not entirely used too. I find myself getting very involved in the lyrics that Dave writes and finding myself in the song./ The imagery i can create in my head from his lyrics are absolutely vivid.
Today would’ve been drummerGar Samuelson’s 60th birthday
