Cask of Amontillado Songtext / Lyric

A thousand wounds I’d borne, but when he came to slander, I vowed revenge. I made no threats at all. You who know my soul, at last, I’ll be avenged.
Lured him into the vaults, oh no, I am the master.
As he took a sip among the dead men, the last stone I plastered.

Pre-chorus

This is the tale of vengeance on Fortunado.
See this deadly shine, this is the wine.
Did you get to taste Amontillado?
Beware of your host. He’s in for the kill and more.
Chorus:

This is the cask, the cask of Amontillado.
To kill is my task. Will he live behind these walls?
His future and past, for a glass of Amontillado,
But his legend I’ll pass on to the house of Montresor.

Verse 2:

Thousand and one wounds, but only one slander, he’ll be ashamed.
I made no threats, you who know me well. I’ll take revenge
Lured him into the vaults, oh no, I am the master.

As he took a sip among the dead men, the last stone I plastered .
Pre-chorus

This is the tale of vengeance on Fortunado.
See this deadly shine, this is the wine.
Did you get to taste Amontillado?
Beware of your host, he’s in for the kill and more.
Chorus:

This is the cask, the cask of Amontillado.
To kill is my task. Will he live behind these walls?
His future and past, for a glass of Amontillado,
But this legend I’ll pass on to the house of Montresor.

Verse 3:

When you look inside of me, you see division.
It’s split personality, one man and his visions.
It’s me, and him, both in sane,
It’s me, and him both in pain,
It’s me, and her, we share one grave.
It’s me, it’s her, master and slave.
