Pain (American Band): "Island Of Fear" Lyrics

A man once told us that no man is an island 

But I know a man that thinks he’s an island 

Drifting out to the sea, sand in his ears and lies on his tongue. 

Jungle grows in your mind when you’re an island. 

Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear. 

Deep down inside he wants out of here, he wants out of here 

Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear. 

The Island of Fear, he drank too much beer, 

Went home with a queer. 

Filthy, hungry cannibals ringed around his soul. 

He’s tied with the hair of shrunken heads to a bamboo pole. 

He could drive them away with a flick of his wrist 

or an ounce of self-denial. 

Or a good deed done without asking for it back. 

Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear. 

Deep down inside he wants out of here, he wants out of here 

Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear. 

The Island of Fear, he drank too much beer, 

Went home with a queer. 

No one visits desert islands, no one likes to waste their time 

Raising temples, building bridges if the island’s just a sinking ship.
