The Pit and the Pendulum
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the darkness left alone
Walls surround that hellish hole
deadly deep and no way out
from above I hear a swinging
metal blade clinging
In the pit and the pendulum
the pit and the pendulum
comin' near and nearer
In the inquisition's claw
sentence of death is their law
though unholy and sadistic
it's a question of their honour,
of gods to die for
With the pit and the pendulum
the pit and the pendulum
swingin' above my throat
The pit and the pendulum
could it be the soldiers 're coming?
The pit and the pendulum
do they open up my prison?
