lyrics

Black Stars burn cold in the sky
While twin suns set behind empty eyes
A rumor drifting on brittle wings
A haunting melody on shivering strings
How long until the golden robed king arrives?

Endless echoes in my mind
Have you seen the sign?

Black stars shine on skin like stone
Dread winds moan Cassilda's poem
'Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the tattered skies'
Pallid the mask of they who sit on the throne

Endless echoes in my mind
Have you seen the sign?

See this blood upon my hands
His story sketched in crimson
A manuscript that never ends
It's rhyme and meter a prison

My bruised feet drag cross the stone
Curtain rise in Carcosa
And as the final act begins
I fall to slumber as
black stars roll above
black stars roll above

Slow Wake Cleveland, Ohio

Like staring out into the abyss of Lake Erie at sunset on a few hits of acid as the sun burns the water.
