He never gave me grief, I wasn't greedy for the gold He was a good old man, temptation never appeared at all My baddest worries rose up when his pale glass eye fell upon me Designed a perfect plan, he never could flee! It happened every night, it happened after dark Close to his room, I turned the latch of doom. The envisioned purpose would be done using a tie to blind him from his life, shutting down that insane eye! He screamed in horror, I swore his name Lurking his chamber, dimming his flame Panic seized my soul, elder's passing had to come I pulled him into the floor, his eye would burden me no more. From there the job consisted in dismembering the corpse. Hidden under planks, feeling no remorse! Merciless law showed up beating the (front) door: His groan of mortal terror, turned into an error My aim was to persuade'em it had been a misconception But nothing was precise, total self-deception! I screamed in horror, I swore his name Lurking his chamber, dimming his flame I pled for them to inspect, all seemed to be accurate Carefully I waited, upon the wooden grave I faked My apparent serenity convinced them of my innocence A sound inside my head, a blasting turbulence Noises getting louder, (louder, louder!) Couldn't stand no more, I had to admit it all Derision of fatality uncovering the planks Tormenting melody arisen from his beating heart!
