Along the shore the cloud waves break

Along the shore the cloud waves break

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.

  1. So I’m sure this is in honor of your Lamentations of the Flame Princess plans or whatever, but I hold out hope it’s for Delta Green or a True Detective hack for Gumshoe.

  3. Shit, I’m fresh out.

    By the way, The King in Yellow–the Robert W Chambers collection that Carcosa bit is from–is pretty good stuff, if you’re into weird fiction at all.
