Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe; January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. His publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".

When they illicit information from the demon Neshrew, a much darker and more dangerous plot of world domination is uncovered.

Edgar Allan Poe The Tell Tale Heart
A crime has been committed
I call for justice in the name of the Lord
The truth has been subverted
The instigator must be put to the sword
For the God that we serve is a vengeful God
Let me remind you of that!
As for the perpetrator
I will expose him as a cheat and a fraud
For every word he's uttered
Is a deception for an earthly reward
Will he laugh to himself to his dying day
With his last breath will he smile and say...
What fools people are!
What fools people are!
What FOOLS...
People are!
Now God in all His wisdom
Has chosen my voice to deliver His words
The lies of all blasphemers
Will drown in silence, the truth will be heard
And the Arm of the Lord wields a mighty sword
I can assure you of that!
And as for Poe the Sinner
I now will judge him by the faith I hold dear
And after deep reflection
I find him GUILTY, my conscious is clear
Could his black words be read any other way?
Sometimes I sigh to myself and say...
What fools people are
What fools people are
What FOOLS...
People are!
(Reynolds! Reynolds!)
Say when we joined the army
That he deserted, people don't like a rat
At university,
Thrown out for cheating, they'll all believe that!
If I alter a line, then his poem won't rhyme
Father, forgive me my sins!
And now he stands convicted
I will commit him to the care of the Lord
Forsaken! Forgotten!
A veil of silence, his eternal reward!
Under a dark, everlasting cloud
Sometimes it's hard not to shout out loud
What fools people are!
What fools people are!
What blissfully ignorant FOOLS...
People are!
And if the sheep have a mind to stray
I have to show them the righteous way...
What fools people are!
What fools people are!
What ignorant, bloody FOOLS...
People are!
Hear the sledges with the bells,
silver bells, silver bells,
What world of marriement this melody foretells.
How they tnkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the icy airy of night.
While the stars that over sprinkle, all the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystal line delight.
Keeping time, time, time, in a sort of runic rhyme,
Keeping time, keeping time, keeping time. Keeping time, keeping time, keeping time, keeping time.
To the tin- tinabulation that so musically wells from the bells, bells.
