lyrics

"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of being tricked."
"By the devil?"
"No, no, I have too much fear of the devil. He's with me always. I'm afraid of the stranger. I'm afraid of an Enchanter."
"There are no Enchanters here."
"There are Enchanters . . .everywhere."

Set my coordinates, and struck the silver gong
For the path between the worlds, and how long I'd be gone
Brought my belongings, and tied them in a sack
Left behind a message to say when I'd be back

Into Carcosa, where I lost my only friend
Among the endless streets of imagination

The King in Yellow walks in rags, apart from everyone
The thoughts of men are stretched apart, in the shadow of the Black Sun
I walked among the shades of men, lost and trying to be whole
Blinded by their loneliness, abandoned by their soul

Into Carcosa, beyond the world of time
Protected from the Black Seas, I carried the Yellow Sign
Into Carcosa, I was summoned to my death
To build the city brick by brick, for the time that I have left

I found him hiding from the Yellow King, when I offered him my help
I separated the fragments of his weary soul, and took it for myself
Into Carcosa, I carried the Yellow Sign
I threw down my belongings, and took back what was mine
