Pit And Pendulum Lyrics

Pit And Pendulum lyrics

In the darkness of Time, in the name of God



Truth dies in the dying shout,



Crying kisses or killer's hands



And the glory grows on glorious heads...



This is the truth of their God;



This is the death of my belief



From the glorious mouth deadly words come out:



They want me to die







I awake but light has disappeared...



Maybe it's died like me in this dark hell



Black days, blind nights,



Redemption-shouts from my heart,



In the killing silence, alive but dead,



I'm going mad



The trembling steps I try to take



Will slowly take me



Finish my way in a Pit.



But I'm falling on the floor and feel



The depths before me/Just one more step



Would have brought me to my death!







Upon rousing, I look around:



I can see by a sulphuros light



I'm chained in a low form:the final plan, the scaffold



And when this thought lights my future



I feel I can't hold on...



So let the



End take me far...let me fly over life



And when the tears flow no more...



Destiny will show truth...







Where dreams are born,



Where I escape from the demons



Hunting in tormented soul,



Where no one follows



There I escape from the demons...







And there are the depths



I escaped from



And demons painted on the grey walls



Looking upward there is pained death



Holding a pendulum in his frightening hand



...just a second-and I Know:I



smile upon my glittering death;



...the moving pendulum...



...Agitation of spirit keeps me awake



While I wait for my death...I'm afraid



The last minute comes, but lets me live



Rats on my straps...and I can stay here: yet...



My calm doesn't live long...something smells strange:



Glowing metal walls!



They seem to be coming closer and closer



All that they offer:



Burn or Fall
