Pit And Pendulum-Without Face

Pit And Pendulum - Without Face 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
