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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Something had beyond her control
A moment of madness unfettered a
That relish a freedom denied once before
By a nation with it's back to the wall
Within a split second of reading text
The spirit was free and had fled from its
It was eager to from this sudden reprieve
And thus in the a life was conceived
From the beginning the world was
As a was born in a monastery bed
The happening here on this Earth
Was perceived as a glorious new Birth

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

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

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

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

[The

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 flowers to mark out the of seasons

No animals dwelt in the forests or
All life was extinct; its fate had been

By the curse of a violent unstoppable
Mankind had been drowned in an ocean of

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

They fought as the sun rose in the sky
Their fight would not end until one of them
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 in a gesture of peace
The silver opponent allowed retreat

the man with the red sword attacked from behind
Left the silver sword fighter and blind
Then carnage ensued that no man could
As the red blade sliced 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 remained
Were the echoes of and a fresh crimson stain

And so came the third of these unyielding
A picture of war and ferocious
An army of marching as one
that the end had already begun

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

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

The three visions, the Mother Superior
A bitter forewarning of what was in
This infant so frail must not grow to be
The world was at risk if she too long
So veiled by the of night she did creep
And where mother and child were both asleep
And onwards she moved to where the lay
She leant the baby and started to pray
She prayed for for what she would do
She prayed the knife in her hand would aim true
But all of a she was now paralyzed
The baby had opened her eyes

[Lead:

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

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

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

Now and a question would be raised
misgivings threatened to be voiced
But these were judgments not to say
To doubt the child could to be a rash and deadly choice
By now the reign had proved too much
The monastery was shadowed under
But fear decreed that hostile be crushed
For the creature had the power to inside your head
The mother in her darkest knew
The time had for action to be taken

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

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

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

And thou who didst this most vindictive enemy
Must serve to be her warder there for all

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

Let no man breach the gate to this most blasphemous of
bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap
He must n'er become a slave to Child's beck and call
For she must waken from her Crimson Sleep:

[Lead:

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

A movement in the
A of blazing light
The stood before them
With in her eyes
The women ran her
To try to stem the
Of purse and crimson
There was nowhere left to
Too slow was reaction
They thrown back off their feet
throats were filled with panic
As they stared as defeat
Too weak was their
They staunch the trail
Of and vengeance
out for this betrayal
So the mother's compatriots
with damning pain
Died in the dirt
They were bleeding and
They'd looked the child's eyes
And crumbled in
images too hideous
For minds to bear
Salvation in banishing
creature to the dark
Let not hand be hesitant
Or death will be mark"
But there was still one hope
No for fear or doubt
The mother knew was no choice
She had to end now

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

Simon/Mike]

A few more seconds the path
Between or damnation
Mankind face the aftermath speed
Of this confrontation
Got to strike for the
Leave the monster running
Go to cross the
Got to for those unforgiving eyes

She veiled with trivial thought
A mask of
Her failed to see beyond
The of irrelevance

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

Simon]

Striking hard, fast in desperation
The world is filled with shades of red
Forced to stand in weak
As rivulets of blood run the Child's head
The chamber fills with screams of violent
Of petulance and impotent
Consumed with frenzied waves of hate
The princess to earth in dark sedation

Her stunts the growth of nascent power
grows within her like some poisonous flower
The blade of darkness strikes her to the
And so the flower inside begins to
But time is short for to be taken
No chance to on pity or mistakes
No chance for excuses to be found
The moment of Salvation be now!

Cast me to the crimson
Thou hast the power I be blind
To overthrow my reign
And throw me to the pit of
Cast me to the flames
Thou shalt bar the doors of
Incant these of sacred rule
me in my crimson cell

[Lead:

And thus was read the
Voices echoed round and
The woman smiled in elation
inside the sounds

[Lead:

And with chants of higher lore
So mortal flesh to fade
Soon and mother were no more
earthly bodies now decayed

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

[Lead:

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

No now to lead or preach
No to influence or guide
The sacrifice she took
the hope of the human race
And thus she the sacred book
A captive in her crimson

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