MAY THE ODDS BE IN YOUR FAVOR!
Edgar Allan Poe rap: The Pit and the Pendulum. Actual poem.
A torture chamber ...The story of a man's attempt to survive in a torture chamber during the Spanish Inquisition, one of the most deadly inquisitions in history, more of a suspenseful thriller. If you had been sentenced to death in a torture chamber, what would you do? And what's in the Pit?

The Raven-- A man's self-induced torture over the loss of his love, Lenore, pushes him over the edge of sanity when he hears a knock at the door. He opens it to find nothing. Later a tap on the window, he opens the window and the raven flies in and perches on a bust of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. He concludes it is some sort of messenger so he asks it if he will ever see his love Lenore. The raven screeches "Nevermore" he asks all of these question and the replies are always "Nevermore."
Lenore said to be his wife who died quite young
Fun fact on Poe’s tomb it says, "Quoth the Raven, Nevermore."
