Oh, Isabella

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ratted out in Hades Forced to return to Rockville With nothing but a rucksack Hard lesson learned Foul council of leeches What silence and bedlam Take refuge and a dagger to the bites Then suck out the venom [Chorus] Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men [Verse 2] Running on the tightrope Woven by spider While the canyon teeming with shoppers Grows wider and wider What demon's possessing The clock and the compass? Surrender, run headlong to the void The reptile's among us [Chorus] Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Chained to the oxcart With a chest full of arrows The villagers are burdened with cedar By back and by barrow Scrub brush from the wasteland Snake in a tree Remember when they throw the torches in Breathe, breathe, breathe [Chorus] Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men Oh, Isabella Your ship's run aground Kneel at the sword Scream at the clouds Oh, Isabella There's smoke on the wind Terror and fever Have taken your men [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Outro]
