Read The King In Yellow:

Lyrics:
The book lay open, whispers soft,
Twin suns lost, my fate was sealed,
Soul revealed by stars aloft,
Black bells peal for sunken croft.

My stuck eyes closed, yet seeing still,
The great Hyades thrill, imposed
Upon my sight, exposed until
The dark waves spill and I sink low.

[Chorus]
Into the lake,
Into the black lake,
Into the black lake, Hali.

The twin suns sink, the cloud waves break,
I ache and fidget on the brink,
A fetid stink, a maddened grave
Of waves, I drink and I am drowning...

[Chorus]

The great king basks, he drinks black wine,
His entourage refined, enmasked,
And my own soul their next repast,
They cast my bones, a yellow sign...

[Chorus]

Yet what are they that swim down here?
The scales flash, the writhing
What are they that shine down here?
Those eyes! Those eyes!

[Chorus]
