| In the dungeons of death the pendulum waits
|
| The blade plays its tune, it whispers my name
|
| I stare into blackness, the bottomless pit
|
| My inquisition, the torturer’s kiss
|
| Darkness, at wait for my end to come soon
|
| Madness, the pendulum waits in my tomb
|
| My senses explode, illusions appear
|
| With every heartbeat the first cut draws near
|
| My courage deserts me, I can’t chain the feel
|
| I’m screaming in terror, but no one can hear
|
| Darkness, above me the pendulum swings
|
| Madness, around me the 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
|
| How did I come to this evil place?
|
| Shackled and bound, my life in disgrace
|
| Lost here without You, please hear my prayer
|
| Fallen from grace, and wait in despair
|
| Life will soon end, I face the abyss
|
| Too young to die, I can’t go like this!
|
| But someone help me
|
| Will someone help me?
|
| Will someone help me?
|
| Mechanical torture, invented in hell
|
| The pendulum hits bell, rings my dead knell
|
| The bleed-out redemption, drops ever near
|
| With every second my end becomes clear
|
| Darkness, the pendulum swings to my tomb
|
| Madness, I’m shackled and bound in this gloom
|
| Darkness, my torture is wait for the end
|
| Sadness, I wait for the blade to descend
|
| Darkness, above me the pendulum swings
|
| Madness, around me the torture begins
|
| Sadness, memories of life seem to fade
|
| Heartless, I’m trapped like a beast in a cage |
