By the last breath of the
four winds that blow
I'll have revenge upon Fortunato
Smile in his face I'll say
"come let us go
I've a cask of Amontillado"
Sheltered inside from the
cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault
down below
Drinking the wine as we
laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly
slow
(What are these chains that
are binding my arms?)
Part of you dies each passing
day
(Say it's a game and I'll
come to no harm)
You'll feel your life slipping
away
You who are rich and whose
troubles are few
May come around to see my
point of view
What price the Crown of
a King on his throne
When you're chained in the
dark all alone
(Spare me my life only name
your reward)
Part of you dies each brick
I lay
(Bring back some light in
the name of the Lord)
You'll feel your mind slipping
away.

"Is this what you used to do on Halloween?" asked
the witch boy.
"This, and more. But, let me introduce myself!
Moundshroud is the name. Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud. Does that have
a ring, boys? Does it sound for you?"
It sounds, the boys thought, oh, oh, it sounds...!
Moundshroud.
"A fine name," said Mr. Moundshround, giving it
a full sepulchral night-church sound. "And a fine night. And all the deep
dark wild long history of Halloween waiting to swallow us whole!"
"Swallow us?"
