Chapter one I strode intent into a setting sun
Down to the gala where they follow floating
Friends to the fun
I saw her standing on the landing
Lithely lighting a smoke
She wore a red dress
She wore a red dress
Her loosened lace it cast an equal spell
Of red on my face
So recent and indecent infidelity and disgrace
Like a bull with a pool of swords stuck in the back
I'll take her down there, I'll take her down to
The casque of amontillado
Chapter two a feigned a smile and purred a 'how do you do'?
Her sottish eyes held surprise
My wolves were low on the move
So sorry baby for the wasted way you hold yourself
Lets put it past us. let me offer
The casque of amontillado
Three... she stumbled and she mumbled
Humbled by the drink in her shell
I led her lagging, dragging legs into a fresh mortar cell
She took a sip and then a trip and then extended a hand
I sealed her in there
I sealed her in there
In conclusion, no illusion were the walls to her grave
Inside this cave she'll lay and crave
And realize now she's a slave
To all the silence and her screaming
And the rats, and the dew
Here's to you babe! here's to you and the casque of amontillado!
