Obel, Agnes - Island Of Doom Lyrics






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
Why'd you wake me up today?
Why'd you wake me up today?
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

One, two, three, four, five

    Damn Agnes why couldn’t you have supported Dead can Dance on their European leg of their tour and not just the US leg!

  22. g.... a....

    Im looking forward to more masterpieces like this one. I just fell in love with this song,just like i did with every other song she sang. They re all mesmerising ..

  30. M.... S....

    you are so amazing. I Love your Beautiful Voice , please never end singing.😍😍😊👌

  31. H.... ....

    I'm hoping she goes more electronic. Mix in those cold electronic sounds we here on this track a little bit, with her usual piano and string arrangements.

  32. K.... P....

    Hi girl. A few minutes ago I didn't know who you are. Now, I will never forget you.
    Thank you for your music. Have an amazing year ahead.

  33. A.... W....

    Your music is amazing

  34. B.... E....

    Agnes, you are an inspiration. I connect with your music, voice, lyrics, (poetry & Art), so much so that it transports my mind/spirit to another reality, another dimension. It reminds me of home but not of this earthly plane. I wonder do you feel connected/as one with the spirit of creation when you write and compose your beautiful music into the world? That's certainly how I feel when I listen to it. 🖤

  35. S.... G....

    My partner got me tickets to see her in London in April for christmas. Best gift ever!!!

  36. M.... F....

    PLEASE COME TO BRAZILL
    I'm begging you

  37. F.... G....

    Beautiful and fragile song Agnes. My new favorite!

  38. f.... a....

    Something about her vibes connect me to the movie the vvitch..

  39. G.... -....

    Un voyage <3 thanks !

  40. R.... S....

    BBC radio 6 brought me here... thank you

  41. A.... C....

    Lord knows how much Agnes Obel music has helped me get through. I'm always ecstatic whenever a new track is out, better yet, waiting for this new album! Much respect!!

  42. R.... ....

    Agnes Obel has been on my radar for a couple years now, but more on the periphery. This track changed that dramatically. The piano is beautiful and somehow classical, in a structural sense, while the production employs technology for touches that are otherworldly. Agnes Obel will be in San Francisco at the Masonic with Dead Can Dance. I'm excited about the possibilities.

  43. m.... d....

    Divine piece of work really OMG

  44. t.... ....

    Heroin music

  45. v.... c....

    Good ol' Agnes.

  46. R.... P....

    Czekamy z niecierpliwością. Pozdrowienia z Kielc (Polska:)

  47. I.... F....

    I LOVE YOU AGNES ❤️

  48. X.... ....

    I am so glad to have found her and Dark at the same time. They are a perfect pairing.

    X.... ....

    I'm obsessed with her song 'familiar'. All thanks to Dark🖤

  49. S.... ....

    Cette femme dispose d'un esprit des plus élevés qui soit .

  50. M.... N....

    This is definitely going to be in season 3 of Dark. Maybe even in the series finale 💛 can totally see that happening

  51. M.... ....

    Can’t wait for the new album, please tour Australia in 2020

  52. J.... ....

    Going to have this on repeat for a long time. Beautiful

  53. R.... B....

    Myopia has such a great double meaning...nearsightedness.

  54. y.... r....

    Can't wait to listen the whole album!

  55. H.... h....

    It sounds like something my music teacher would play.

    (I'm not a hater I'm just saying. I love her songs still oof)

  56. R.... L....

    Sonic bliss... Already have tickets to see her in mexico city this coming May. Can hardly wait.

  57. J.... S....

    I love ALL Agnes has accomplished thus far. However, I'm thinking this is going to be her best album EVER! GO TEAM OBEL!

  58. S.... ....

    Angel songs 🧡

  59. J.... P....

    Is this what you dream of, Agnes?

  60. M.... S....

    This song lacks a lot of what I’ve loved about her music...i feel like this just isn’t on the level of her older music, especially Aventine.

  61. M.... ....

    What a fantastic artist

  62. J.... N....

    There's a haunting that I love about this woman. It's so fantastical and great,

  63. J.... H....

    Awesome visuals in this video. I really feel an intense connection to the element of haunting beauty here.

    Some people love bright sunny days, but I prefer and feel a stronger connection to things that are dark, cold, still and blue.

  64. R.... F....

    Amazing song, love it.

  65. D.... T....

    WHAT TOOK YOU SOOOOOOOO LONG AGNES????

  66. M.... A....

    see you at the March concert in Warsaw Agnes :)

  67. J.... H....

    Last week was one of the most depressing weeks of my life and I had just about given up hope.

    When I discovered you released a new song and started listening it triggered long forgotten emotions and I was then able to pull myself out of it

    I know it sounds really cheesy but I want you to know your music REALLY DOES have a profound effect on people like myself.

    I've listened to this song dozens of times and each time I fall more in love with it. I cant wait until the rest of the album.

  68. J.... C....

    Extreme Kate Bush Energy.

  69. T.... W....

    this is white culture

  70. T.... ....

    111 people think they are in heaven and don't like it.

  71. S.... R....

    Love your work and this new song is just mesmerising. Looking forward to hearing you live

  72. S.... S....

    Eternal...

  73. S.... S....

    Agnes, finally a real musician...

  74. C.... L....

    Merci c'est vraiment superbe !

  75. C.... Z....

    Sing to me and I'll be in heaven!

  76. s.... h....

    Sublime. Welcome back, Agnes. Is simple: I love your music!

  77. M.... Y....

    I swear I get ASMR tingles from Obel's music.

  78. S.... Z....

    I love your music. Saludos desde Perú

  79. 1.... P....

  80. c.... ....

    Touching my soul ... every time

  81. h.... h....

    I'm so glad that you're back with new songs because i love all of your songs, you sing like an angel.. <3<3

  82. b.... ....

    Envoutant...

  83. t.... ....

    Thank you Agnes. I cried listening to this song because 2 months ago a kindred spirit, a cat I had the privilege to know for 15 years died, I dug a grave in the backyard by the creek and laid her to rest. Your work is like a part of the universe reflecting on itself. -Nicholas (39, Minnesota)

  84. T.... G....

    do nervoeiro para cá

  85. K.... M....

    You are perfect

  86. A.... M....

    Beautiful song

  87. M.... T....

    Agnes what a song, stunning. I feel like a traveler to another word. Can't wait for the new album and please come back to Italy !

  88. C.... W....

    you are an angel

  89. K.... ....

    Cudowne, jak wszystko co stworzyła. Tym razem zakochałam się już w pierwszych dźwiękach.

  90. c.... C....

    I love this😭😭😭 I'm sad and I need more sad song

  91. m.... ....

    Godt med nyt fra Agnes Obel, har lyttet nogle gange til denne, men mine favoritter er nu stadig; Mary, Familiar, The curse, Fuel to fire, cover af Close watch og Aventine :) Men den store drøm er nu et samarbejde mellem Agnes Obel og Ólafur Arnalds ;) Det ville være stort.

  92. S.... !....

    Your music makes me feel like I’m in a different dimension

  93. J.... ....

    Nous attendons cet album avec impatience.
    Nous = 'la famille"
    Chacun des albums d'Agnes Obel est un nouvel électrochoc mystique.
    Cette beauté dont nous avons besoin...
    Merci.

  94. G.... F....

    Wherever I am when I listen to Agnes Obel I feel like home. Like if my soul has always known this voice. It is impossible to not connect myself to her songs.
    Hi from France

    G.... F....

    Yes, this. She is a voice I have known forever. So sublime to listen in this lifetime.

  95. C.... L....

    Id seriously pay to just listen to you blow your nose and cough. 👌

  96. T.... ....

    now lets wait for some crappy AAA gaming company to steal and adulterate this for their game trailer

  97. W.... E....

    Good vocals and very nice indeed to hear. Though I'm not a fan I appreciate the effort put in here.

  98. k.... ....

    And the magic is back, thank you Agnes

  99. A.... O....

    Hey everyone, I am very happy to announce my new album “Myopia”, released on February 21st 2020.

    Today is the day where the new single and video for “Island Of Doom” is released. The video is made by Alex Brüel Flagstad.

    You can pre-order the album now here: https://AgnesObel.ffm.to/myopia.oyd

    Island Of Doom Lyrics:
    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
    But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
    But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.


    “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 mines will lead you back,
    and I will be with you
    Before the road of your mind will eat you up,
    on your island of doom
    Where the voices have all 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
    And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone
    And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.
    Why you wake me up today?
    Why you wake me up today?
    One two three four five.

    A.... O....

    I can’t wait. I’ve loved Agnes Obel’s music for a while but this might be my favourite song of hers ever. The video is also incredible. I hope it wasn’t too painful to write. This is genuinely one of the most haunting pieces of music I’ve ever heard. Slightly reminds me of ‘Silence’ by PJ Harvey. Which I also love (of course!).

    A.... O....

    Why no performances in Wales, UK? Ireland, Scotland and Emgland, but no visit to Wales...

    A.... O....

    Je suis une fan inconditionnelle. Transportée par cette musique et cette voix. Tant d 'émotions à l écoute de vos disques. Musique méditatative. Vous nous apportez tant.

    A.... O....

    Great news

    A.... O....

    I love your music and singing. Greetings from Southamerica
