Lyrics The Pit and the Pendulum, Part 3 - Eric Woolfson

And there's a pit
All around me
And in the pit
There was darkness

And in the darkness
There was nothing
Except the walls
Getting closer

And burning spears
Growing longer
As I grow weaker
They grow stronger

Between the pit and the pendulum hanging on to hope
Devil in the belfry pulling on the rope
I was caught in a stangle hold trying not to choke
Beneath the pit and the pendulum I will come tumbling down, tumbling down

I was trapped by a landslide, couldn't touch the ground
An avalanche thundering rolling down a mountain
I was swallowed by a malestrom thinking I would drown, I would drown
Beneath the walls of Jericho I will go tumbling down, tumbling down

Tumbling down, tumbling down...
Tumbling down, tumbling down...
