Island of Doom Songtext

von Agnes Obel

Destiny made her way and found you in a room
They told me, they told me
To undo the rule of mind and body
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
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

"I 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 most will lead you back
And I will be with you
For the road of your mind will eat you up
On your island of doom
Where the voices all have 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
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
Ooh, why'd you wake me up today?
Ooh, why'd you wake me up today?

Ooh, when the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
Ooh, when the lights fade out
When the lights fade out
Ooh, when the lights fade out

Mm
One, two, three (Mm), four, five
