lyrics

"At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled — but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved, precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong. It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation"
(excerpt from The Cask Of Amontillado by E.A. Poe)

Hoping to go my way
Longing far from grace
And I won't blame the eyes
I won't lead you back

But I would, if I may?
Unify with my prey

Confronting my today
To please my needs
Sanity's out of place
As I gaze from afar

So keep reminding me
Of stayin' in-between
The two streams of time
Until they both go dry

Confronting my today
To please my needs
Sanity's out of place
As I gaze from afar
