Yellow King's Lullaby Lyrics

In Carcosa the shadows dance

Beneath the stars' forlorn expanse

Where whispers drift on silent breeze

A world of madness none at ease

Hush now little one don't you fear

The Yellow King is drawing near

In his court where nightmares cling

Bow to the shadow of the Yellow King

Moonlight fades in shrouded haze

Lost in labyrinths of endless maze

Echoes of a distant scream

Trapped within a twisted dream

Hush now little one don't you fear

The Yellow King is drawing near

In his court where nightmares cling

Bow to the shadow of the Yellow King

Silent masks and pallid shroud

Laughter echoes long and loud

Broken minds in puppet strings

Dance before the Yellow King

Stars go black the skies collapse

Time unravels in his grasp

In the lake of Hali's tears

Truth and terror intertwine here

Hush now little one don't you fear

The Yellow King is drawing near

In his court where nightmares cling

Bow to the shadow of the Yellow King

Close your eyes let dreams take flight

Pray you don't see his pallid light

For in Carcosa's haunted ring

Awaits the reign of the Yellow King
