THE DECEMBERISTS - The Island: Come & See...the Landlord's Daught lyrics

Entering a part of your mind

Where reality is lost and time stands still

Dreams and nightmares are one

Only hell knows if this is real

No human being has been here before

Not a single soul has seen this before, you are

Entering a new world and you are the first

The mysteries of life becoming clearer

Behind the mirror [X2]

Flying through the black hole

Things look strange in this new dimension

You expected a brave new world

But what is this - only hate and destruction

No love, no hope only weakness and violence

When you return reality carries on for you

Nothing can help you escape from this world

A place of hate and terror

Behind the mirror [X2]

Born in this world of hate

You try to escape through

The dimensions you made, trying and trying (again)

Scared of live you exist in endless fear

[Last part of second verse repeated]
