Chapter one I strode intent into a setting sun |
|
Down to the gala where they follow floating |
|
Friends to the fun |
|
I saw her standing on the landing |
|
Lithely lighting a smoke |
|
She wore a red dress |
|
She wore a red dress |
|
Her loosened lace it cast an equal spell |
|
Of red on my face |
|
So recent and indecent infidelity and disgrace |
|
Like a bull with a pool of swords stuck in the back |
|
I'll take her down there, I'll take her down to |
|
The casque of amontillado |
|
Chapter two a feigned a smile and purred a 'how do you do'? |
|
Her sottish eyes held surprise |
|
My wolves were low on the move |
|
So sorry baby for the wasted way you hold yourself |
|
Lets put it past us. let me offer |
|
The casque of amontillado |
|
Three... she stumbled and she mumbled |
|
Humbled by the drink in her shell |
|
I led her lagging, dragging legs into a fresh mortar cell |
|
She took a sip and then a trip and then extended a hand |
|
I sealed her in there |
|
I sealed her in there |
|
In conclusion, no illusion were the walls to her grave |
|
Inside this cave she'll lay and crave |
|
And realize now she's a slave |
|
To all the silence and her screaming |
|
And the rats, and the dew |
|
Here's to you babe! here's to you and the casque of amontillado! |
