white marble blasphemy
sanctioned by the powers that be
an affront to everything we have worked for
no matter, pay it no mind
the time draws near to raise his sign
but first we must do as we discussed;
there is one last thorn sticking in our side tonight
mr. castaigne, it is time
tonight's the night to take up your birthright
and to the firstborn:
death or exile
meet him late while the gaslights burn
he'll renounce the crown or he will learn
the price that's paid by those who disobey
the word of the king in the pallid mask
if constance's love is true
that's a shame for you
you'll never know firsthand
so cousin what's it gonna be
the choice is easy:
renounce the crown to me.
by right of the Hyades:
drop down to your knees
such is the will of the King in Yellow
as twin suns sink beneath the coast
amidst the echo of Camilla's ghost
the son of Hastur reclaims his throne
beneath a sky of black starlight
if constance's love is true
that's a shame for you
you'll never know firsthand
so cousin what's it gonna be
the choice is easy:
renounce the crown to me.
