Island of Doom - 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

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

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
