Let no man the gate to this most blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst
He must n'er become a to this Child's beck and call
For she must never waken from her Sleep..
The monastery stood towering 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 graves and bones
For buried a testament to the evil of a queen
A that spread across a weak and stricken land
The crimson birth swamped the earth in dark and deadly dreams
And all mankind did bow beneath the of her hand

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

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

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

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

And now she sat in the concealment of the night
She was hungry now to the writings from their cage
The glimmer of a moon provided her with light
As she opened up the cover and 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 who yearn prosperity
this single act of sanity
Will raise you far above

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

Something had beyond her control
A of madness unfettered a soul
That would relish a freedom once before
By a nation with it's back to the wall
Within a split second of reading this
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 in a monastery bed
The miracle happening here on this
Was perceived as a new Virgin Birth

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

[Lead:

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

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

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

Visions:]

The first was a engulfed by the sea
No dry land in sight, not a or tree
No rock jutted out from the horizon
Or flowers to mark out the of seasons

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

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

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

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 of life was the trophy at stake

But one of the flouted the rules
And with cunning and guile had the other one
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 sword fighter defeated and blind
Then carnage ensued that no man condone
As the bloody red blade sliced through and bone

All day did the attack without halt
the other lay dead from the frenzied assault
Until by the twilight and all that
Were the echoes of death and a fresh crimson

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

They in a field, which was wide and expansive
waited in silence both ready and pensive
The grassland was strewn with small crimson
fragrance 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 of their willpower
Brought to their knees by the strength of a

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

[Lead:

And into those eyes, the gazed
The in her face was both haunted and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in and sadness
The first to be by this foul crimson madness
This brutal could not be explained
No one single was suggested or blamed
But no one think that a child was involved
And the mystery illness remained

So all seemed as normal for short years
A veil of deception dissolved any
But there was one lapse in the disguise
And that could be seen in the of her eyes

The message could clearly be discovered
In the glimpse of the universe in her stare
Her hypnotic, unbearably strong
Suspicions growing, it wouldn't be long
Oh willing host who doth not
The desire of this prisoner
You walk where angels to go
Thou shalt soon embrace the

Now and then a question would be
Strong misgivings to be voiced
But were judgments wiser not to say
To doubt the could prove to be a rash and deadly choice
By now the Crimson reign had too much
The was shadowed under dread
But fear decreed hostile thoughts be crushed
For the creature had the power to crawl your head
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 the book she had forsaken

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

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

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

One quiet night the lady traveled out beyond the
Her quest was one of urgency and human
She with companions to reach the ruined city
Where lay the means to her kind, a path to their salvation
When there searched for evidence of where 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 were no more; they had already too far

Let no man breach the gate to most blasphemous of halls
bitterness 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:

[Lead:

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

A movement in the
A flash of light
The child stood before
With murder in her
The women ran her
To try to stem the
Of purse and anger
There was left to hide
Too slow was reaction
They were thrown off their feet
throats were filled with panic
As they stared as harsh
Too weak was protection
They couldn't the trail
Of and vengeance
out for this betrayal
So the mother's brave
Consumed with damning
Died in the dirt
They were and insane
looked into the child's eyes
And in despair
images too hideous
For human minds to
lies in banishing
This to the dark
Let not hand be hesitant
Or will be your mark"
But was still one single hope
No for fear or doubt
The knew there was no choice
She had to end now

She crawled across the ground
Her eyes averted from the steely
But she knew she'd found
A way beyond nightmare

[Lead:

A few more seconds the path
Between or damnation
Mankind would face the aftermath
Of this deadly
Got to for the eyes
the monster running blind
Go to the line
Got to strike for those eyes

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

For a they were face to face
No sign of was soon to be
But still her 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 unforgiving

Simon]

Striking hard, striking in desperation
The world is filled with shades of red
Forced to stand in weak
As of blood run down the Child's head
The chamber fills with screams of violent
Of petulance and frustration
Consumed with frenzied tidal waves of
The princess falls to in dark sedation

Her blindness the growth of nascent power
That grows her like some poisonous flower
The of darkness strikes her to the hilt
And so the flower inside begins to
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 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
Cast me to the crimson
shalt bar the doors of hell
Incant these of sacred rule
Seal me in my cell

Dan]

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

[Lead:

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

Cast me to the crimson
Thou shalt bar the of hell
Incant these words of sacred
me in my crimson cell

[Lead:

And still inside the stands
A cell with crimson hue
Resealed by spoken of Man
Imbued with from spiritual Truth
Two souls imprisoned for
Light and dark bound
Two souls that can be freed
A back will not be found
For trapped some foolish reach
And far away from eyes

No now to lead or preach
No chance to or guide
The final she took
the hope of the human race
And thus she holds the sacred
A captive in her crimson

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