In the darkness left alone
Walls surround that hellish hole
deadly deep and no way out
from above I hear a swinging
metal blade clinging
In the pit and the pendulum
the pit and the pendulum
comin` near and nearer
In the inquisition`s claw
sentence of death is their law
though unholy and sadistic
it`s a question of their honour
of gods to die for
With the pit and the pendulum
the pit and the pendulum
swingin` above my throat
The pit and the pendulum
could it be the soldiers‘re coming
The pit and the pendulum
do they open up my prison
