1. Cassilda’s Song Intro Verse chords DMaj7 x 8 CMaj7 x 8 Verse 1 Along the shore the cloud waves break The twin suns sink beneath the lake The shadows lengthen in Carcosa Verse 2 Strange is the night where black stars rise And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is lost Carcosa Verse 3 Songs that the Hyades shall sing Where flap the tatters of the King Must die unheard in dim Carcosa Verse 4 Song of my soul, my voice is dead Die thou unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in lost Carcosa Lyrics from Robert W Chambers The King in Yellow first published in 1895 Music written 18OCT2019

2. Disappearing Sun Intro/Verse/Chorus chords: F x 8 Am x 8 Verse 1 I watched the sun disappear Beneath shadows and sea I watched rain fade away Saw people dying around me Chorus I saw the disappearing sun I saw the disappearing sun And we’re gone with it Verse 2 I saw the icebergs crack And black smoke rising high The forests and jungles burn And birds fall from the sky Chorus Verse 3 She sailed into the harbour Told them all what was to come The old men turned their backs on her Now we’re gone with the sun Chorus Written 18OCT2019

3. The King in Yellow Intro/Verse/Chorus chords: Am x 8 G x 8 Verse 1 Watching the moon spin as he reaches for his mask Watching the twin lakes in the shadows of the dark The winds are howling. The riders race the storm Watching mountains break as he waits the final dawn Chorus x 2 The King in Yellow behind his pallid mask Verse 2 Waiting for sunset in the ruins of this hall Patient in shadows to reveal what he knows The thieves are fumbling as jokers take control But he is waiting. Waiting for them all Chorus x 2 Verse 3 Dark stars are rising. Truth will be revealed A world decaying. In darkness they will see Decadence broke it from mountain to the sea Now he will claim it. From him you will flee Chorus x 2 Written 18OCT2019
