Lyrics I know all the faces in Carcosa So who is this Stranger? I must ask Nothing will prevent me from seeing This ghost robed in pale white damask He wears another face With eyes so hard to trace The Stranger hides behind the Pallid Mask Whiter than the rolling mists of Hali Expressionless and cold as the Black Stars Is there truth behind the illusion? The only truth is death will come at last Weaving webs of sly deceit So vague and incomplete The Stranger hides behind the Pallid Mask The shadows lengthen in Carcosa The shadows lengthen in Carcosa
Sounds like something that would feature in the same album as "Far From Any Road", which is fitting, since True Detective also plays with the King in Yellow mythos.
Camilla: You Sir, should unmask. Stranger: Indeed? Cassilda: Indeed it's time. We have all laid aside disguise but you. Stranger: I wear no mask. Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda) No mask? No mask!
Indeed, and you should probably continue, for "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." I, personnaly, keep those things away by gathering roleplayers to show them the sign.
Think about being a poor elder god, finally chilling at a party where nobody is reacting to your weirdness, only to be asked to remove your face beacuse they thought it was your mask. Poor Legarde.... did he go through something similar in Mahabre? ;)
I never knew I needed this song in my life until this moment.
One of two original The King in Yellow songs I have heard.
Love the fact that this renders the eerie mystery of the pallid mask while at the same time sounds like a surf-rock song.
Any of you guys seen the yellow sign?
RIP Steven Lines.
que lamentable noticia
Lyrics
I know all the faces in Carcosa
So who is this Stranger? I must ask
Nothing will prevent me from seeing
This ghost robed in pale white damask
He wears another face
With eyes so hard to trace
The Stranger hides behind the Pallid Mask
Whiter than the rolling mists of Hali
Expressionless and cold as the Black Stars
Is there truth behind the illusion?
The only truth is death will come at last
Weaving webs of sly deceit
So vague and incomplete
The Stranger hides behind the Pallid Mask
The shadows lengthen in Carcosa
The shadows lengthen in Carcosa
Who else wish to visit that strange and half forgotten city?
But I live there...
who else wants to come back there? :P
Once did, i found my own grave there...
I do
We visit it in dreams
This is a work genius. And how many people know of this?
Seven people know about this.
It is the symbol of The Society of the Yellow Sign (SYS) and is also designed to be a variation of the Yellow Sign itself.
Love this song!
Make millions working from home!!! Ask me how!!!
Sounds like something that would feature in the same album as "Far From Any Road", which is fitting, since True Detective also plays with the King in Yellow mythos.
Thank you for the wonderful lyrics, Steve!
Camilla: You Sir, should unmask.
Stranger: Indeed?
Cassilda: Indeed it's time. We have all laid aside disguise but you.
Stranger: I wear no mask.
Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda) No mask? No mask!
Sir, I've seen that you posted on multiple video about Hastur. You must have indeed seen the Yellow Sign, and I congratulate you "clapclap"
Nope! Just a huge fan of the play, I read it some time ago, and it seems like commenting about it is the only thing that keeps them away.
Indeed, and you should probably continue, for "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
I, personnaly, keep those things away by gathering roleplayers to show them the sign.
if everyone masks , they'll "let us" unmask and make it look like it was their idea.
it is time for us all to unmask
Very cool, I love how you used quotes from the Blish version of the play.
Wonderful stuff just like Poisoned Air
Muito boa e assustadora...
This should have been the season finale outro music for True Detective season 1
haha, I worked with the lead singer of this band, Cary Wolf
Haha I worked with the lead singer of this band, Cary Wolf, too.
However, I worked with him in The Petals. LOLOL
See comment I made below. 😉😂
i'm not sure, but i recognize elements of "far from any road"/handsome Family.
It does make sense, since True Detective is also part of the Yellow Mythos.
I assume that is a coincidence since this video came up in 2011 so the song predates True Detective by many years.
Ur awesome you can’t believe that you have so many people that subscribe to you
Think about being a poor elder god, finally chilling at a party where nobody is reacting to your weirdness, only to be asked to remove your face beacuse they thought it was your mask.
Poor Legarde.... did he go through something similar in Mahabre? ;)
Awesome! How can I listen to the whole album?
Sorry, not sorry.
Don't you ever fucking apologize for being awesome, you decadent creep.
Aluminum...
Ash...
Fun fact: the baby in yellow is based on the King in yellow
