ThaHipHopHead - Pit and the Pendulum lyrics

[Intro] I WAS sick -- sick unto d**h with that long agony; and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me [Verse] I've awoken, eyes are open, no sky is shown, and Thighs are broken, arms tied, and toes bent, mind soaked in Delirium, I fear it's him, d**h with a serious hymn Problems in the world today include Syria, Flint Footsteps near, man in white, in his hand is my life He points above with his anointed glove, and like a handy knife Whoosh! Something nearly slices me in two It swings like a metronome, the plight I face is true Back, and forth, it hacks, and tore some men apart Can't be saved, I've got the core of Sin in heart What can I do? I can't escape this torment The mechanical beast has come to rape the who*e's men Hated before trends, sedated before the end With the ray of light, spray the fright that's forming in Will I be spared, or tossed into despair, son? Cracked open the shell of the tortoise, and the hare won Sound fair? Huh, I think I heard a noise The wall's busting in, the sound of the Inquisition's burning joy As my saviors stroll in, a piece of hope they holdin' The pendulum stops swinging, ain't no more omens [Outro] There was a discordant hum of human voices! There was a loud blast as of many trumpets! There was a harsh grating as of a thousand thunders! The fiery walls rushed back! An outstretched arm caught my own as I fell, fainting, into the abyss. It was that of General Lasalle. The French army had entered Toledo. The Inquisition was in the hands of its enemies
