The Tell-tale Heart Lyrics

The Tell-tale Heart lyrics

[Words: Luke Easter, Music: Aaron Guerra]



I cut him up this evening

And they came to check the scream

On the very spot i'd hidden him

I served a spot of tea



I'd left no evidence

That anything was wrong

But the unnerving sound beneath the floor boards

Reminded me of what I'd done



I thought I'd committed

The perfect, fool-proof crime

I never knew how heavy

This would wiegh upon my mind



Things done in secret

Under cover of night

Have a funny way

Of being brought into the light



I admit the deed

Can't you hear the beating

I admit the deed

I'm being driven mad by the tell-tale heart
