Lyrics: NECRONOMIDOL
Music: Karl Casey

Inspired by a segment of the book The King in Yellow by Robert William Chambers, a book of 10 supernatural stories first published in 1895. The first 4 stories in he book concern a forbidden play called The King in Yellow. This song relates to Cassilda’s Song, which is from Act 1, Scene 2 of the play. If the song from the play is her point of view then NECRONOMIDOL’s song is from the point of view of her friend/confidante encouraging her to get out of Carcosa, a setting in the play.

English Lyrics

Enveloping shadows
Eventide ablaze

Glittering in the umbra
Stars of ill fortune
Light your way

The song of your soul perish, never to perish

Throw off your mourning dress
Testify to your existence

Let your laments resound
Screaming out your final gasp

Tenebrous in haze
Shambles of the metropolis

Heart unwavering
Eve of deliverance
Cast your rue upon the flames

Your ephemeral hope, never to perish

Throw off your mourning dress
Testify to your existence

Your strangled voice, never to perish

Throw off your mourning dress
Testify to your existence

Let your laments resound
Screaming out your final gasp
