All Hail to the King in Yellow Lyrics

Album: Rites

Verse 1:

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 strange moons circle through the skies,

But stranger still is

Lost Carcosa.

Riff:

You cannot run

You cannot hide

The yellow sign has chosen you

Open the book

Your life turns to ash

The king of the shepherd has come for you

Chorus:

All Hail To The King In yellow

Rejoice

Death is not the end

All Hail To The King In yellow

You die

But then you live again

Verse2:

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.

Riff:

You cannot run

You cannot hide

The yellow sign has chosen you

Open the book

Your life turns to ash

The king of the shepherd has come for you

Chorus:

All Hail To The King In yellow

Rejoice

Death is not the end

All Hail To The King In yellow

You die

But then you live again
