Island of the Unknown

A horrid task, the ship has left, the insane must survive
 A one way path, that leads to death,
 at one within their minds
 There's no one here, to guide the weak,
 From creeping, pending doom
 A prayer is said, to take them from this island,
 the unknown
 This island, this wretched place, an awful piece of earth
 As prisoners, they've been released, to wander into night
 Fearful, alert eyes, gaze out and distort
 Expecting, detecting, the awful thigns to come
 Maniacal screams, a suicide pact, a lasting tone it rings
 The so-called crazed dead, the final heartbeat ends
 Dying, this coven's gone, at peace now, for all time
 This twisted experiment, crumbles before life's eyes
 Their world was torture for the living
 Then fate led them onward into night
 In life, they were different human victims
 But in death, they are silent corpses, equal in mind
 The horror, the terror, of what lies beyond
 On the island of the unknown, this island of the unknown
