Edgar Allen Poe Rap - The Pit and the Pendulum Hip-Hop

The lyrics summarize the plot of Poe’s classic tale of torture. First, the narrator gets thrown in prison, and then he’s surrounded by darkness. Accompany him as he discovers the pit, the pendulum, maniacally hungry rats and scalding walls, but from the comfort of your own chair. Will he ever escape from this chamber of horrors? This video was produced through a partnership with READ Magazine.

I'm accused of something, standing in a room or something, With candles and three dudes dressed in black. You go round and round, It comes down and down, You know, nothing but your soul deep in the cell, If the pit don’t get you then the pendulum will. Unhear it - get that damn song out of your head!
