Let no man breach the to this most blasphemous of halls
Lest and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap
He must n'er become a slave to Child's beck and call
For she never waken from her Crimson Sleep..
The monastery towering above the ruined city
It shadowed all the new emerging settlements and
To look down on the was to sympathize and pity
All the suffering and heartache, all the and broken bones
For there a testament to the evil of a queen
A misery that spread a weak and stricken land
The crimson birth that swamped the earth in dark and deadly
And all mankind did bow beneath the of her hand

And in the garden sat a woman with a book
A manuscript that lay within her and trembling arms
She looked around her nervously as guilt in her heart
But the of curiosity had drawn her out too far

She wavered on the threshold of a decision
For this dark tome was no for human to ever read
The pages dripped with legions of persuasive words and
So the had been hidden well, but now it had been freed

For no apparent reason had the woman drawn in
Perhaps it was a twist of fate, an absence of thought
She wandered to a room that she'd never been
And all at once the interest of her senses had been
For no apparent had the women been drawn in
Where rows of dusty books lay in an display

But one ancient leather binding had the of human skin
And seized curiosity she stole this book away

And now she sat alone in the concealment of the
She was hungry now to liberate the writings from their
The glimmer of a feeble moon provided her with
As she up the cover and began to read the page
Fly, soul, the guest,
your impish arrant
Let none be by false confession
Truth be your warrant
Fly soul for body must die

But for who seek eternity
For those who prosperity
this single act of sanity
Will raise you far above

Oh willing host who not know
The full desire of prisoner
You walk where fear to go
Thou soon embrace the reckoner
Thy halo of glory, hope's gage
May prove to be an evil

Something had beyond her control
A moment of unfettered a soul
That would relish a freedom denied once
By a nation with it's back to the wall
Within a split of reading this text
The spirit was and had fled from its nest
It was eager to grow this sudden reprieve
And thus in the woman a was conceived
From the beginning the was misled
As a baby was born in a bed
The miracle here on this Earth
Was perceived as a glorious new Virgin

From the in time that baby was born
The sun did now rise on a new Crimson
And the creature bided its time undiscovered
So safe in the cradling arms of the

Dan]

But for those who seek
For those who yearn
From single act of sanity
Will you far above humanity

Secure from the world, the child hidden
A serpent in the Garden of Eden
And all who looked down on newly born babe
Were ignorant now of the this would take
The people were blind to the control
That was daily upon every soul
With no room to question this delicate
All fears would be and all doubts would be stifled

But one single mind did out from the crowd
quiet at first - with hardly a sound
The Mother harbored suspicion
Brought to her by three simple vision

Visions:]

The was a planet engulfed by the sea
No dry land in sight, not a mountain or
No rock jutted out from the endless
Or to mark out the changing of seasons

No dwelt in the forests or fields
All life was extinct; its fate had sealed

By the of a violent unstoppable flood
Mankind had drowned in an ocean of blood

The next revelation was vivid and
It two swordsmen engrossed in a duel
The one a sword that was silver and pure
The a sword that was red to the core

They as the sun rose high in the sky
Their fight would not end one of them died
No room did they for an error to make
For the future of life was the at stake

But one of the warriors the rules
And cunning and guile had the other one fooled
As he held up his hands in a of peace
The silver opponent this retreat

Then the man the red sword attacked from behind
Left the silver sword fighter defeated and
Then carnage ensued that no man could
As the bloody red blade through sinew and bone

All day did the swordsman attack halt
Though the other lay dead from the assault
Until by the twilight and all that
Were the of death and a fresh crimson stain

And so came the third of unyielding visions
A picture of war and divisions
An of saviors marching as one
that the end had already begun

They in a field, which was wide and expansive
They waited in silence both ready and
The grassland was strewn small crimson petals
fragrance was sweet with the stench of the devil

And slowly but surely they into sleep
Their consciousness gone as they slumped in
And there they lie bereft of their willpower
Brought to their knees by the of a flower

The three visions, the Mother Superior
A bitter forewarning of was in store
This so frail must not grow to be strong
The world was at if she waited too long
So veiled by the blackness of night she did
And enter where mother and child were both
And onwards she to where the crib lay
She leant over the and started to pray
She for forgiveness for what she would do
She prayed that the knife in her hand would aim
But all of a sudden she was now
The baby had opened her eyes

Mike]

And those eyes, the woman gazed
The look in her face was both and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in confusion and
The first to be gripped by this crimson madness
This brutal psychosis not be explained
No one single was suggested or blamed
But no one think that a child was involved
And the mystery illness unresolved

So all seemed as normal for seven years
A veil of deception any fears
But there was one in the child's disguise
And that could be in the depths of her eyes

The message clearly be discovered there
In the glimpse of the found in her stare
Her gaze hypnotic, strong
Suspicions were growing, it be long
Oh willing host who not know
The full desire of this
You where angels fear to go
shalt soon embrace the reckoner

Now and then a question be raised
Strong misgivings to be voiced
But these were wiser not to say
To doubt the child could prove to be a rash and deadly
By now the reign had proved too much
The monastery was under dread
But fear decreed hostile thoughts be crushed
For the creature had the power to crawl inside head
The in her darkest moment knew
The time had come for action to be

A journey must be made to hidden
She must return and read the book she had forsaken

tome presented many further views
Essential rules of were revealed
And thus the offered up one clue
The child one significant Archilles Heel
Should the Crimson Queen be blinded, then she'll be
of piercing vision, her victims will be free

Salvation in banishing this creature to the dark
Let not your hand be hesitant or death will be mark
Lest regained sight speed her flight away from burning hell
A steady heart must her back within her crimson cell

And who didst release this most vindictive enemy
Must serve to be her warder for all eternity

One quiet night the lady traveled out the monastery
Her quest was one of urgency and preservation
She traveled companions to reach the ruined city
Where lay the means to save her kind, a path to salvation
When there they for evidence of where the Queen once slept
And upon a gateway, which was tightly closed and barred
A stark inscription them of the risk of their next step
But choices no more; they had already come too far

Let no man breach the gate to most blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and chaos be the they wouldst reap
He must n'er become a to this Child's beck and call
For she must never waken from her Sleep:

Mike]

With fresh resolve the carried on towards their goal
And themselves a cell where crimson shade were scattered
A sight so it chilled their very souls
The had long been drained and all around the glass lay shattered

A movement in the
A flash of blazing
The child before them
With murder in her
The ran towards her
To try to the tide
Of purse and anger
was nowhere left to hide
Too slow was reaction
They were thrown back off their
Their throats were filled with
As they stared as defeat
Too weak was protection
They staunch the trail
Of and vengeance
Meted out for betrayal
So the brave compatriots
Consumed with pain
Died in the dirt
They bleeding and insane
They'd looked into the child's
And in despair
From images too
For human to bear
Salvation lies in
This to the dark
Let not your be hesitant
Or will be your mark"
But there was still one single
No room for or doubt
The knew there was no choice
She had to end now

She crawled the bloodstained ground
Her eyes averted the steely glare
But she knew she'd found
A way beyond this

[Lead:

A few more spanned the path
Between or damnation
Mankind would face the speed
Of deadly confrontation
Got to for the eyes
Leave the monster running
Go to cross the
Got to for those unforgiving eyes

She veiled herself trivial thought
A of insignificance
Her daughter failed to see
The fabric of

For a moment were face to face
No of what was soon to be
But still her mind to break
Those thoughts must not be
Got to for the eyes
Leave the monster running
Go to the line
Got to strike for those unforgiving

[Lead:

hard, striking fast in desperation
The world around is filled with of red
Forced to stand in weak
As rivulets of blood run down the Child's
The chamber fills with screams of rage
Of petulance and frustration
Consumed with frenzied waves of hate
The falls to earth in dark sedation

Her stunts the growth of nascent power
That grows her like some poisonous flower
The blade of strikes her to the hilt
And so the flower inside to wilt
But time is short for to be taken
No chance to dwell on or mistakes
No chance for dark excuses to be
The moment of must be now!

Cast me to the flames
Thou the power should I be blind
To overthrow my wicked
And me to the pit of time
Cast me to the flames
shalt bar the doors of hell
Incant these of sacred rule
Seal me in my cell

Dan]

And thus was the incantation
echoed round and round
The woman in weak elation
Mesmerized inside the

Dan]

And these chants of higher lore
So flesh began to fade
Soon child and were no more
Their earthly now decayed

Cast me to the crimson
shalt bar the doors of hell
Incant words of sacred rule
Seal me in my crimson

Mike]

And still inside the chamber
A single cell with hue
Resealed by spoken of Man
Imbued with power from spiritual
Two souls imprisoned for
Light and forever bound
Two souls that never can be
A back will not be found
For trapped beyond some foolish
And far away prying eyes

No channel now to or preach
No chance to influence or
The sacrifice she took
Ensured the hope of the human
And thus she the sacred book
A in her crimson space

bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap
For she must waken from this Crimson Sleep

Dan]
