[02:44.467]Here's a tale in history
[02:46.328]About a period of tragedy
[02:48.143]A man who thought of horrid things
[02:50.208]But really sought what happiness brings
[02:52.207]Terror instilled within the souls
[02:54.018]Of men and women, young and old
[02:55.982]Come and listen to me, my friend
[03:02.026]He'll make your morale descend
[03:04.965]One Boston day, it's sad to say
[03:06.811]A newborn child was granted miserable life
[03:08.783]Abandoned by his father and
[03:10.579]Left alone by death of father's wife
[03:12.764]Foster child
[03:14.616]Tobacco exporter gave him a chance
[03:16.633]History defiled
[03:18.636]Twisted by literature, dark and opium enhanced
[03:21.406]Irregularity
[03:22.685]So far ahead of his time
[03:24.518]A spark of a breed
[03:26.457]Regarding all of his literature creed
[03:32.515]Infamy of tales and poetry
[03:34.073]Connecting his themes to his wildest dreams
[03:44.494]The maelstrom grew but no one knew
[03:46.465]He descended far beyond its spinning walls
[03:48.537]Into the pit, the black abyss
[03:50.263]His house was collapsing as he searched for El Dorado
[03:59.316]Perched upon Pallas was life, hard and callous
[04:00.828]The shadows of burden lifted nevermore
[04:02.993]The vulture eye of death concealed
[04:04.935]By wooden planks below the floor
[04:06.785]The quest for solace evolved into sorrow
[04:08.841]Lingering obsessions
[04:10.443]Intoxication, stimulation, creation
[04:12.427]Hindering addictions
[04:29.843]Apparently the message in a bottle was lost
[04:31.627]For I could see no conclusion
[04:33.690]But all of us remaining in the shrouded past
[04:35.689]Must remember to further ourselves by obtrusion
[04:56.499]Inebriated grin leads the mighty pen
[04:58.281]Across the paper as his fears come alive
[05:00.576]Satiric whim ignites the brim
[05:02.698]Of insanity as Pluto arrives
[05:04.951]Swaying cognac barriers
[05:07.145]And the beating of his hideous heart
[05:09.283]Increasing ever so constantly
[05:11.709]Conjuring the ne'er forgotten lore
[05:20.912]'Tis only this and nothing more
[05:32.148]Nevermore
[05:36.241]Lightning bolts
[05:38.018]Tearing through his house and soul
[05:39.839]Mental gibes
[05:41.924]Darkness hailed in what he's told
[05:49.687]Eternally infatuated with despair
[05:59.334]Fortunado leads the way to fermented pleasures
[06:03.018]But as the cup of drink is met
[06:04.931]The hour tolls and the Red Death guest reveals
[06:14.646]In a kingdom by the sea
[06:16.568]Is where they left beloved thee
[06:18.523]The time has come to join, my dear
[06:20.559]In your kingdom by the sea
[06:40.640]Hear the toll of the iron bells!
[06:56.556]Hear the toll of the iron bells!
