06. Hastur - King in Yellow
By Unlife · Metal · From the album The Ancient Ones
He came through the fog on the bayou
Wearing a yellow sign on his breast
I read the words and I went under
Now I can't remember the rest
They call him the King in the Yellow
But kings don't bring what he brings
He whispers your name in the water
And the water remembers the sting
I saw the city that never was
I held the mask that unmade me
I heard the choir that never sang
And the silence that always stays
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Shadow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Sorrow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Shadow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Sorrow
I used to pray to nothing holy
Nothing ever prayed back
Now I whisper to the void
And the void begins to crack
Saints have all abandoned scripture
Angels choked on their own hymn
Every truth I ever carried
Bleeds beneath this paper thin
I wore the mask of morning
I sang the songs of men
But the pallid page keeps turning
Again and again and again
There is no god in this city
There is no love in this town
There is only the pale procession
And the crown they hand you down
I saw the city that never was
I held the mask that unmade me
I heard the choir that never sang
And the silence that always stays
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Shadow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Sorrow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Shadow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Sorrow
Every mirror shows a stranger
Every window shows a face
That was never what I made me
Wearing features out of place
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Shadow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Sorrow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Shadow
Hastur
King in Yellow, King in Sorrow
