Inevitable revenge
It was a many may a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea;
Where Happiness blossomed, joy as far as the eye could see, love abundant, pain never lasting, suffering ever so slowly, hate ever growing
Where the thousand injuries of Jacobus I had borne as I best could
But when he threatened my family I vowed revenge
I must not only punish but punish with impunity
In a kingdom by the sea;
Hearken! Dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?
Passion there was none; pain there was many
But whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees - very gradually - I made up my mind to rid myself of the pain forever
In a kingdom by the sea;
During the supreme madness of the carnival season, that I encountered Jacobus
I greeted him "Oh how luckily met! My dear Jacobus."
Jacobus stated "Oh hello dear friend! How about we go to my palazzo for some drinks?"
"No, no. My dear friend I have Amontillado! Here come come! We shall make our own carnival! Plus, you still have yet to see my palazzo"
In a kingdom by the sea;
Jacobus possessed himself of my arm; and putting on a mask of black silk on my person, I suffered him to hurry to my palazzo
"You shall love it! Come hurry! No servants are present so we must prepare the party ourselves."
Most importantly I and my rapier where ready
At length I would he avenged; this was a point definitely, settled but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk
In a kingdom by the sea;
A moment more and I fettered him to the granite
In an instant I dragged him to the floor
Unsheathing my rapier, I thrust it in his heart
His blood flowed liked rain; indeed how beautiful it was
In pace requiescst
