Текст песни The Pit and the Pendulum - Biff Byford

In the dungeons of death, the pendulum waits
The blade plays its tune, it whispers my name
I star into blackness the bottomless pit
My inquisition, the torturers kiss

Darkness - I pray for my end to come soon
Madness - the pendulum waits in my tomb

My sense explodes, illusion appear
With every heartbeat the first cut draws near
My courage deserts me, I can't tame the fear
I'm screaming in terror, but no one can hear

Darkness - above me the pendulum swings
Madness - around me torture begins
Sadness - memories of life seem to fade
Heartless - I'm trapped like a beast in a cage

My mind drifting back to life lived before
Happier times with my wife I adore
Hod I did come to this evil place
Shackled and bound, my life in disgrace
I'm lost here without you, please hear my prayer
Fallen from grace, I wait in despair
My life will soon end, I face the abyss
I'm too young to die, I can't go like this
Will someone help me
Will someone help me
Will someone help me

Mechanical torture invented in hell
The pendulum breath rings my death kneel
The blade of redemption drops ever near
With every second my end becomes bear

Darkness - the pendulum swings to my doom
Madness - I'm shackled and bound this room
Sadness - my torturers wait for the end
Sadness - I wait for the blade to descend

Darkness - above me the pendulum swings
Madness - around me torture begins
Sadness - memories of life seem to fade
Heartless - I'm trapped like a beast in a cage
