Once the pages open Ensuing madness the madness now begins The lethal chamber welcomes Welcomes those who those who shed their sins Insanity for humanity once the words are seen Readers all consumed by the faceless yellow fiend... The Yellow King he beckons to his evil and his will Taken souls amongst him, the king shall drink his fill Face the unknown As you dream the dream the endless dream Only the King in Yellow can hear your earthly hear your earthly screams In the land Carcosa with its heavy leaden clouds Among the roughened landscapes, amidst the frightened sounds Your suicide was no escape, now face his hellish hounds The twisted vines of madness now pull you to the ground CHORUS: CARCOSA LIVES BESIDE YOU CARCOSA ALWAYS NEAR CARCOSA LIVES INSIDE YOU CARCOSA ALWAYS NEAR Now the pages open Embrace the madness the madness always wins Enter into the chamber of all your wordly sins THE END HAS NOW POISONED YOUR MIND AND CHILLED YOU TO THE BONE THE YWLLOW KING SITS SMILING UPON HIS SICKENING THRONE YOUR MIND AND SOUL ARE TRAPPED NOW IN HIS TWISTED REALM NO ESCAPE AND NO MERCY, YOU'RE IN AN ENDLESS HELL SOLOS: CHORUS
