The Isle Of The Dead Lyrics

The Isle Of The Dead lyrics

Death

I'm dying

Laying on the bed that will be my last one

The faces of my beloved surround me

They'll all pass me away



I have no fear,

My time is done and it's time to leave

Nothing remains of me

But my dying body that lies in this circle of tears



My eyes will soon close

And my soul will reach its new home

The empty shell of my body

Will turn into dust and ashes



And suddenly it is done

I watch my corpse, flying upon him

I've got nothing to do here for evermore

It's time to leave now.



The Journey

I'm dead now

Sat in Charon's boat, I'm reaching my new home

Into the isle of the dead, he'll lead me

Where I'll rest for the end of times



I have no fear,

The floods are filled with lost souls who'll try to get me

But they won't take my spirit

Cause I'm already done with life



My eyes will soon see

The giant trees and the island's hole-filled cliffs

My ethereal and living soul

Will reach its eternal sleep



And slowly we cross the lake

I watch the shore, craving to touch it

I'm so tired, please let me die

It's is time to rest now
