pit and the pendulum - thahiphophead lyrics

[intro]
i was sick — sick unto death 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, death 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 wh0r-‘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 sh-ll 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
