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 arm?)
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
The lyrics THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO of THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT is also present in the album Tales of mystery and imagination (1976)
Il The Alan Parsons Project è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1974 da Alan Parsons, ingegnere del suono di fama internazionale, e Eric Woolfson, compositore e manager. L'idea era quella di creare un progetto musicale innovativo che combinasse elementi progressivi, rock e musica classica, con l'orchestra come elemento centrale. La formazione vedeva la partecipazione di musicisti di sessione e cantanti ospiti, tra cui Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Chris Rainbow e Colin Blunstone. Woolfson si occupava principalmente della composizione dei brani vocali, mentre Parsons si dedicava alla produzione e a composizioni strumentali. Tra i loro album più noti figurano *Tales of Mystery and Imagination* (1976), ispirato alle opere di Edgar Allan Poe, *Pyramid* (1975) e *Eye in the Sky* (1977). Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni '70 e '80 con brani come "Sirius", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" e "Time Away". Dopo la fine del progetto nel 1982, Parsons e Woolfson hanno continuato a lavorare in modo indipendente. Woolfson è morto nel 2009.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
