I awake, without the sun
Encased in walls of steel
Terror so real, it blinds meRancid darkness steals my breath
The Pit, on the edge of death
The wells of Hell know not my nameI slip away, into black I fade awayTerrified, to the left and to the right
Spirits of the Damned, iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cries
Shrieking demon, far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my lastAwake again, paralyzed
I'm shackled to this alter
Sacrificed to their God'Inch by Inch and Line by Line'
The Blade, descending lost in time
The fiends of Doom they call my nameI slip away, into black I fade awayTerrified, to the left and to the right
Spirits of the Damned, iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cries
Shrieking demon, far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my last"The Inquisitorial vengeance
Had been hurried by my two-fold escape,
And there was to be no more dallying
With the King of Terrors"
[Edgar Allan Poe, The Pit and the Pendulum]Terrified, to the left and to the right
Spirits of the Damned, iron shadows cast
Hear my desperate cries
Shrieking demon, far and wide
Praying for this breath to be my last
