King

The shadows lengthen,
But stranger still,
The songs die unheard

In Carcosa.
Lost Carcosa.
Dim Carcosa.
Lost Carcosa.

Songs the Hyades shall sing,
Tattered robes of the Yellow King,
Soul of my song, my voice is dead;
Unwept tears remain unshed.

The shadows lengthen,
But stranger still,
My song dies unheard

In Carcosa.
Lost Carcosa.
Dim Carcosa.
Lost Carcosa.

By the shore, the cloud-waves break,
Twin suns fall beneath the lake,
Black stars rise into the skies,
Strange moons turn where darkness lies.

The shadows lengthen,
But stranger still,
The tears dry up and die

In Carcosa.
Lost Carcosa.
Dim Carcosa.
Lost Carcosa.
