Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
In the twilight’s eerie glow, shadows start to weave,
A tale of ancient terror no mind can quite believe.
A whisper in the wind, a name that chills the air,
Hastur, the King in Yellow, in dreams he plants despair.
[Chorus]
In the mists of Carcosa, where the lost and broken stray,
The pallid mask of madness guides the night into the day.
Beware the cursed pages, where the Yellow Sign is found,
For once you hear his whisper, your soul is tightly bound.
[Verse 2]
A city lies in ruins under stars that never die,
Echoes of a distant song twist beneath the sky.
The lake of Hali glistens with secrets dark and deep,
The King in Yellow calls you from realms beyond your sleep.
[Chorus]
In the mists of Carcosa, where the lost and broken stray,
The pallid mask of madness guides the night into the day.
Beware the cursed pages, where the Yellow Sign is found,
For once you hear his whisper, your soul is tightly bound.
[Bridge]
Madness in the moonlight, shadows in the rain,
The lines between what’s real and dreams begin to strain.
The curtain falls so slowly on sanity’s last plea,
Hastur’s grip upon you, from which you can’t be free.
[Verse 3]
The play is nearly over, the final act begins,
The King in Yellow’s waiting where the endless nightmare spins.
A shiver through your spirit as darkness starts to close,
In Carcosa, you’re forsaken, where the timeless river flows.
[Chorus]
In the mists of Carcosa, where the lost and broken stray,
The pallid mask of madness guides the night into the day.
Beware the cursed pages, where the Yellow Sign is found,
For once you hear his whisper, your soul is tightly bound.
[Outro]
In dreams, he’ll haunt forever, the King without a crown,
Hastur, the silent monarch, in shadows, you’ll drown.
The whispers of Carcosa, a fate you can't evade,
In the pallid mask of terror, your soul will slowly fade.
