Once the pages open
Ensuing madness
the madness now begins
The lethal chamber welcomes
Welcomes those who
those who shed their sins
Insanity for humanity
once the words are seen
Readers all consumed by the faceless yellow fiend...
The Yellow King he beckons
to his evil and his will
Taken souls amongst him,
the king shall drink his fill
Face the unknown
As you dream the dream
the endless dream
Only the King in Yellow
can hear your earthly
hear your earthly screams
In the land Carcosa
with its heavy leaden clouds
Among the roughened landscapes,
amidst the frightened sounds
Your suicide was no escape,
now face his hellish hounds
The twisted vines of madness
now pull you to the ground
CHORUS:
CARCOSA LIVES BESIDE YOU
CARCOSA ALWAYS NEAR
CARCOSA LIVES INSIDE YOU
CARCOSA ALWAYS NEAR
Now the pages open
Embrace the madness
the madness always wins
Enter into the chamber
of all your wordly sins
THE END HAS NOW POISONED YOUR MIND
AND CHILLED YOU TO THE BONE
THE YWLLOW KING SITS SMILING
UPON HIS SICKENING THRONE
YOUR MIND AND SOUL ARE TRAPPED
NOW IN HIS TWISTED REALM
NO ESCAPE AND NO MERCY,
YOU'RE IN AN ENDLESS HELL
SOLOS:
CHORUS
