Isle Of Eternal Despair (Upon The Boiling Sea III)

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
