Without Face - Pit And Pendulum Lyrics

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
