The Pit and the Pendulum

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?
