Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blindfold off
Stone and sulfur
Rope-burn wrists
Breathing rust and dust
Judges gone
But their sentence lingers
Like a brand on my tongue
That I can’t adjust
Candles crowd
Like a waiting jury
Shadows lean
Till they scrape my skin
I don’t know
What they named my “error”
Only know they swore
I wouldn’t walk again
[Chorus]
In the pit
The pendulum
Swinging closer
Counting down
Every arc a cruel amen
Every breath a stolen vow
In the dark they call it justice
In my chest it feels like doom
I taste iron
I taste incense
In the pit
The pendulum
[Verse 2]
Walls breathe heat
Like a furnace praying
Rats parade
Over shattered tile
Somewhere far
A choir’s complaining
But down here their god
Never turns his eyes
I can hear
Bootheels in the ceiling
Soft commands
In a foreign tongue
Spanish hands
Doing holy torture
For a crime they carved
But never spoke aloud
[Chorus]
In the pit
The pendulum
Swinging closer
Counting down
Every arc a cruel amen
Every breath a stolen vow
In the dark they call it justice
In my chest it feels like doom
I taste iron
I taste incense
In the pit
The pendulum
[Bridge]
[Acoustic guitar and violin enter softly]
Whispered prayers
To a faith I never followed
Burn my lips
Like the chains on my skin
I don’t beg
For their cold forgiveness
I just beg the blade
To finally choose
Violin weeps
Like a throat in hiding
Wood and string
Carry all my sins
If my name
Is erased from history
Let this sound remain
Where the darkness sings (yeah)
[Chorus]
In the pit
The pendulum
Swinging closer
Counting down
Every arc a cruel amen
Every breath a stolen vow
In the dark they call it justice
In my chest it feels like doom
I taste iron
I taste incense
In the pit
The pendulum
[Outro]
[Band drops
Solo violin over acoustic]
Last thin thread
Between flesh and heaven
One more swing
And the circle’s done
If their god
Keeps a book of martyrs
Write me down in ink
As the unnamed one
