Cassilda's Song (The King in Yellow)

Details

Description

LYRICS:

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen...
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And shattered moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is...
Lost Carcosa.

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in...
Dim Carcosa.

Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in...
Lost Carcosa.

Cahf ah nafl mglw'nafh hh' ahor syha'h ah'legeth, ng llll or'azath syha'hnahh n'ghftephai n'gha ahornah ah'mglw'nafh!
(That is not dead that can eternal lie, and with strange eons, even death may die!)

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen...
In Carcosa!

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And shattered moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is...
Lost Carcosa!

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in...
Dim Carcosa!

Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in...
Lost Carcosa....
