Where Black Stars Beckon
From a silver void
We needful seekers
Surrender to receive
From empty ewers
Our old renown restored
The way is opened
The mask does not deceive
Have you heard?
Did you know?
We can be great again
Where flap the tatters of the king
Carcosa is forever
Time without time and dream
The city of occlusion
What awful sight unseen
Carcosa is forever
Apocalypse obscene
The city of conclusion
The lake becomes a scream
The lake becomes a scream
From vapor waves breaking
Sprays opiate froth
And cloying nostalgia
Glazes our eyes
We yearning bathers
Play out in the surf
Grey children beneath
The argent mirror skies
He will repair
He will restore
Our reputations lost
At last, he lifts his mask
Carcosa is forever
Time without time and dream
The city of occlusion
What awful sight unseen
Carcosa is forever
Apocalypse obscene
The city of conclusion
The lake becomes a scream
Carcosa is forever
Apocalypse obscene
The city of conclusion
The lake becomes a scream
Carcosa is forever
Though gilded rafters shake
The city of obtusion
That haunts the wide awake
