Upon the dark shores of the dreaded lake
The denizens of the Nameless City
have just sealed thier fate
No more earthly worries
Oh NO! Not for them
"What did you still think to be human
after betraying me?"
The King in Yellow's Decree

The Plague...The Plague...The Plague of the Pallid Mask

"Never shall you remove these masks you've
placed upon you
By this mark you shall be known...
THE DECEIVERS OF THE KING IN YELLOW"
But some did not believe, and refused this cross to bear
And one by one thier masks fell down
to the ground...
And Now...

The Plague...The Plague...The Plague of the Pallid Mask

Behold, as thier skin begins to rip
Something new coming through
Human flesh lies tattered and limp
What remains, standing there in thier place
My God, mere words cannot say
A Horror my mind cannot convey!

In the most exquisite pain
forever they will remain
No shadow of what they used to be
Just a Shambling Insanity
Noxious appendages reaching down
as they pick thier former faces from the ground
A new mask to wear
This sign they'll always bear

The King in Yellow's Decree
The Plague...The Plague...The Plague of the Pallid Mask
