Oh, Isabella

[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]
