Chorus three endless days of bitter grief passed and montresor abandoned any attempt to cheer his friend. then came a sudden change in usher's demeanour whose significance he was soon to comprehend. now usher stands for hour on hour with head inclined and eyes half-closed as if beneath the deep and sullen silence a sound exists for which he listens; a sound without end. now usher walks for hour on hour. with ashen face and trembling step he climbs each stair he climbs each tower; still hears it there.chorus and no. it's only thethe voices beating of the heartof the house heart of the house of usher beating of the heart heart of the house of usher.usher montresor roderick is that you?i could not sleep nor i. listen to the storm! did you ever hear such a dreadful sound?indeed.indeed i have!but this sound you can hear;the tempest beats upon the houseas it would beat upon a drumthat is no sound to fear.for the sound to fear it beats upon the house.walk softly when they come the thunder seems so nearbut it's only the but it's only thebeating of the heart beating of the heartheart of the house of usher. heart of the house of usher.usher montresor voices of the house oh the lake is beating of the heart in frenzy i heart of the house can feel the waves of usher beat on the walls beating of the heartthe breaking of the heart! heart of the house these giant stones of usher. are trembling beating of the heart the savage lashing heart of the house of the storm of usher.the breaking of the heart! beating of the heart heart of the house of usherwhy is that other sound the housenot hidden by of usherechoes of the storm?

what was it?it's nothing. what was that distant sound?i say i heard nothing all with pearl and ruby glowing was the glorious palace door through which came flowing flowing flowing and sparkling evermore a troop of echoes whose sweet duty night and day was but to sing in voices of surpassing beauty the wit and wisdom of their king.usher montresor no! there's something i heard it quite clear a voice crying.it's nothingi saybut the wind!you heard the windjust heard within the house!the wild wind crying. but evil things in robes of sorrow assailed the monarch's high estate; let us mourn for never morrow dawn upon him desolate; round about his home the glory that had always blushed and bloomed is but a dim-remembered story of the olden time entombed.usher montresor there! yes you heard it! there is someone else -there's nothing something elsei say down there!you hear nothing!there's no-one there.it is the storm are wethat you hear. alone here? travellers now within that valley through red-litten windows see vast forms that move fantastically to a discordant melody while like a rapid ghastly river through the ever open door a hideous throng rush out forever and laugh - but smile no more! and laugh - but smile no more! and laugh - but smile no more!usher no! no! no! yes i hear it! yes i have heard it long long - many minutes many hours but i dared not speak: i tell you i dared not speak. no more cant from you you thick-skinned obtuse fool damn your compassion! for now i say you will hear the wicked truth we put her living in the tomb! but i dared not i dared not speak! yes have i not heard her footsteps on the stair? yes do i not distinguish the heavy and horrible beating of her heart? yes she is coming. she has woken in the darkness in her mindless relentless strength. now she has broken from the tomb. now she has burst from the tomb. days ago i heard her first feeble movements in the hollow coffin - said i not that my senses were acute? i heard the scraping the scraping of her nails - but i dared not i dared not speak! madman! madman! i tell you that she now comes towards the door!usher montresor chorus voices of the house no what a house monstrous thought! we now the punishment breath! is finished. the evil that house you said is done we are! she was dead... cannot be we you watched undone. could not her dying!it's over now it's over now what evil have let you done?
