I just came across this fantastic version of Cassilda’s Song by The Society of the Yellow Sign.
From Act I Scene 2 of The King in Yellow.
-
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.
- 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.
