Isle Of Eternal Despair (upon The Boiling Sea Iii) Lyrics

Isle Of Eternal Despair (upon The Boiling Sea Iii) lyrics

Kiss the sand, praising the dry land he has found

Everywhere on the shore there's treasure all around

Bury deep the horded loot far down below

No man or god will ever take away the plunder



He will find a cave to hide away the fold

Doomed to a desert isle

All of the riches in his hands

No living thing around

But he will never leave the cave

Alone with bounty gold

Something compels him to stay

Heaven or Hell, time will tell



The captain thinks what will come of this

If this is the end, the gold must die with me

Delving underground, to his dismay

The captain finds a curse



The isle of eternal despair, to spend eternity alone

The isle of eternal despair, with gold beyond his dreams



What a sight that's sitting right before his eyes

Ancient spoils of the pirates of the past

Skeletons are sheathed in gold by candlelight

Hunger sets but he will guard the jewels forever



Now he's punished by the gods

Forever pondering his greed

But he's doomed to eternal life

As a golden skeleton



The isle of eternal despair, doomed as his flesh beings to rot

The isle of eternal despair, knowing he'll never really die



As he decays into living, golden bones

Eyes open watching for the rest of his life
