The Alan Parsons Project - The tell-tale heart - original 1976 version lyrics

You should have seen him
Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
You should have seen him
You would have seen his eye
Reflecting in the light

So for the old man
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth
And dust to dust no one will see me
No one with guilt to share
No secret soul to trust

And he won't be found at all
Not a trace to mark his fall
Nor a stain upon the wall louder and louder
Til I could tell the sound
Was not within my ears
You should have seen me
You would have seen my eyes
Grow white and cold with fear

Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth
I've seen many things in Hell
But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue
Is the eye of the Devil himself

Take me away now
But let the silence drown the
Beating of his heart

I can't go on let me flee from this guilty
Secret that I carry
Please set me free ohh now!
