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

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

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

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

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

And now she sat alone in the concealment of the
She was hungry now to liberate the from their cage
The glimmer of a feeble moon provided her light
As she up the cover and began to read the page
Fly, soul, the guest,
Upon your arrant
Let be guiled by false confession
Truth be your warrant
Fly for your body must die

But for those who seek
For those who prosperity
From this single act of
Will raise you far humanity

Oh willing who doth not know
The full desire of this
You walk where angels to go
Thou shalt soon the reckoner
Thy halo of glory, true gage
May prove to be an pilgrimage

had happened beyond her control
A of madness unfettered a soul
That relish a freedom denied once before
By a nation with it's back to the wall
Within a split second of this text
The spirit was free and had fled its nest
It was eager to grow from this sudden
And thus in the woman a was conceived
From the beginning the was misled
As a baby was in a monastery bed
The miracle happening on this Earth
Was as a glorious new Virgin Birth

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

[Lead:

But for those who eternity
For those who prosperity
From this act of sanity
Will you far above humanity

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

But one single did stand out from the crowd
Though quiet at first - with a sound
The Mother Superior harbored
Brought to her heart by 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 horizon
Or flowers to mark out the changing of

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

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

The revelation was vivid and cruel
It depicted two engrossed in a duel
The one held a sword that was and pure
The other a sword that was red to the

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

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

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

All day did the swordsman attack without
the other lay dead from the frenzied assault
Until by the and all that remained
Were the echoes of and a fresh crimson stain

And so the third of these unyielding visions
A of war and ferocious divisions
An of saviors marching as one
Aware the end had already begun

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

And but surely they fell into sleep
Their consciousness gone as they in defeat
And there still lie bereft of their willpower
to their knees by the strength of a flower

The three visions, the Mother Superior
A bitter of what was in store
This infant so frail must not grow to be
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 moved to the crib lay
She leant the baby and started to pray
She for forgiveness for what she would do
She that the knife in her hand would aim true
But all of a she was now paralyzed
The baby daughter had opened her

[Lead:

And into those eyes, the woman
The look in her was both haunted and crazed
She was smothered and in confusion and sadness
The first to be gripped by this crimson madness
This brutal psychosis not be explained
No one single cause was or blamed
But no one could think a child was involved
And the mystery illness remained

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

The message could clearly be there
In the glimpse of the universe found in her
Her gaze hypnotic, unbearably
Suspicions were growing, it wouldn't be
Oh willing who doth not know
The full of this prisoner
You where angels fear to go
shalt soon embrace the reckoner

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

A journey must be to hidden truths
She must return and read again the book she had

This tome presented many further
Essential rules of power were
And thus the pages offered up one
The bore one significant Archilles Heel
Should the Crimson Queen be blinded, then powerless be
Bereft of vision, her victims will be free

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

And thou who didst release most vindictive enemy
Must to be her warder there for all eternity

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

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

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

A in the shadows
A flash of blazing
The child stood them
murder in her eyes
The women ran her
To try to the tide
Of purse and crimson
There was nowhere to hide
Too slow was their
They were back off their feet
Their throats filled with panic
As they stared as defeat
Too weak was their
They couldn't staunch the
Of vitriol and
out for this betrayal
So the brave compatriots
with damning pain
Died in the dirt
were bleeding and insane
They'd looked into the eyes
And crumbled in
From images too
For human to bear
Salvation in banishing
This to the dark
Let not your hand be
Or will be your mark"
But there was still one hope
No room for or doubt
The mother knew was no choice
She had to end now

She across the bloodstained ground
Her eyes averted from the steely
But secretly she knew found
A way beyond this

Simon/Mike]

A few more seconds spanned the
success or damnation
Mankind would the aftermath speed
Of deadly confrontation
Got to for the eyes
the monster running blind
Go to the line
Got to strike for those unforgiving

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

For a moment they were face to
No sign of what was to be
But her mind refused to break
Those thoughts must not be
Got to strike for the
Leave the running blind
Go to the line
Got to strike for those eyes

Simon]

Striking hard, striking fast in
The around is filled with shades of red
Forced to stand in anticipation
As rivulets of blood run down the Child's
The chamber fills with screams of rage
Of petulance and impotent
Consumed with tidal waves of hate
The princess falls to earth in dark

Her blindness the growth of nascent power
That grows within her some poisonous flower
The blade of darkness strikes her to the
And so the inside begins to wilt
But time is short for action to be
No chance to dwell on pity or
No chance for dark to be found
The moment of Salvation be now!

Cast me to the crimson
Thou hast the power should I be
To my wicked reign
And throw me to the pit of
me to the crimson flames
Thou shalt bar the of hell
these words of sacred rule
Seal me in my cell

[Lead:

And was read the incantation
Voices echoed and round
The smiled in weak elation
Mesmerized the sounds

Dan]

And with these of higher lore
So mortal began to fade
Soon child and mother were no
Their earthly bodies now

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

Mike]

And still the chamber stands
A single cell crimson hue
by spoken word of Man
Imbued with from spiritual Truth
Two imprisoned for eternity
and dark forever bound
Two souls that never can be
A pathway back not be found
For trapped beyond foolish reach
And far away from eyes

No channel now to or preach
No to influence or guide
The sacrifice she took
the hope of the human race
And thus she holds the book
A in her crimson space

Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst
For she never waken from this Crimson Sleep
