Lyrics:

  • Along the shore the cloud waves break,
  • The twin suns sink beneath 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.
