THE TELL-TALE HEART (Lyrics)

I want to tell you a story
about...about...about...MADNESS!!

I'm not mad...I'm not mad...
I'm dreadfully nervous...But I'm not...MAD!

The old man must die
I'll put out his eye
The old man must die
I feel the hate rise

In the cold night
I see the demon bright
I see that demon's eye
The old man must die

Can't you see how I've been calm
And with how care i planned every move
Every night I entered in his room
Waiting for the right moment to kill

I hear his heart beating fast
A happy prelude of Death
I will kill all my fears
So finally I'll be free
The grave is full and you are a fool
If you think that I'll have mercy on you
I see you dying but I have no time
The Evil is unbound

I hear...His heart...beating...fast!

I wanna lie
Just to survive
And I have to realize
That's a real lie

In the dark room
I sealed my doom
I saw that vulture's eye
The demon must die

I hear his heart beating fast
An obscure prelude of Death
And you, fool, why are you smiling
Can't you hear that?!
The grave is full but I'm not a fool!
You are making fun of me!
I'm going mad...But I'm not mad!
The corpse is here! The corpse is here!


We are P.O.E - Philosophy Of Evil, an italian alternative metal band. What we want is to express the dark, sick, evil side of human soul, that part of soul that lives in each of us and every day it's powerfully trying to come to light in order to disrupt our being. It's the tense for what is ugly, grotesque, unsettling that the genius of Edgar Allan Poe was able to describe sublimely with his poetry and his stories. This is all part of us and we try to celebrate it and, in some cases, exorcise it through our songs. That said, do not take us too seriously. We never do.
