where black stars rise
from now arriving by Cosmic Way Station
lyrics
strange is the night where black stars rise,
and strange moons circle through the skies,
but stranger still is
lost Carcosa
along the shore the cloud waves break,
the twin suns sink behind 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
and strange moons circle through the skies,
but stranger still is
lost Carcosa
along the shore the cloud waves break,
the twin suns sink behind 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
