Let no man breach the gate to this most blasphemous of
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 waken from her Crimson Sleep..
The monastery stood towering the ruined city
It shadowed all the new emerging settlements and
To look down on the ruins was to and pity
All the suffering and heartache, all the graves and broken
For buried there a testament to the of a queen
A misery that spread across a weak and land
The crimson birth that swamped the earth in dark and dreams
And all mankind did bow the power of her hand

And in the monastery sat a woman 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 curiosity had her out too far

She wavered on the threshold of a dangerous
For this dark tome was no for human eyes to ever
The pages dripped with legions of persuasive and visions
So the volume had 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 real
She wandered to a room before she'd never been
And all at once the of her senses had been caught
For no reason had the women been drawn in
Where rows of dusty books lay in an display

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

And now she sat alone in the concealment of the
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 be guiled by false confession
Truth be your warrant
Fly soul for your must die

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

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

Something had beyond her control
A moment of madness unfettered a
That relish a freedom denied once before
By a desperate 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 world was
As a baby was in a monastery bed
The miracle happening here on Earth
Was perceived as a glorious new Birth

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

[Lead:

But for those who seek
For those who prosperity
From single act of sanity
raise you far above humanity

Secure from the world, the child remained
A disguised in the Garden of Eden
And all who looked down on this newly babe
Were now of the path this would take
The people were blind to the subtle
That was daily upon every soul
With no room to question this life
All fears would be drowned and all doubts would be

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

Visions:]

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

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

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

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

They fought as the sun high in the sky
Their fight would not end 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 flouted the rules
And with cunning and guile had the other one
As he up his hands in a gesture of peace
The silver opponent this retreat

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

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

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

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

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

The three visions, the Superior bore
A forewarning of what was in store
This so frail must not grow to be strong
The world was at risk if she waited too
So by the blackness of night she did creep
And enter where mother and child both asleep
And she moved to where the crib lay
She over 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 she was now paralyzed
The daughter had opened her eyes

Mike]

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 gripped by foul crimson madness
This brutal psychosis could not be
No one single cause was or blamed
But no one could that a child was involved
And the mystery illness unresolved

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

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

Now and then a question be raised
Strong misgivings threatened to be
But these were judgments not to say
To doubt the child could prove to be a rash and choice
By now the reign had proved too much
The monastery was shadowed dread
But fear decreed that hostile thoughts be
For the creature had the power to crawl your head
The mother in her darkest moment
The time had come for to be taken

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

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

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

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

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

Let no man breach the gate to this blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and 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 Crimson

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

A in the shadows
A flash of light
The child before them
With murder in her
The women ran her
To try to stem the
Of and crimson anger
There was nowhere to hide
Too was their reaction
They were thrown back off feet
Their throats were with panic
As they stared as harsh
Too weak was protection
couldn't staunch the trail
Of vitriol and
out for this betrayal
So the brave compatriots
Consumed damning pain
writhing in the dirt
They were bleeding and
looked into the child's eyes
And in despair
images too hideous
For human to bear
lies in banishing
This to the dark
Let not your be hesitant
Or death be your mark"
But there was still one single
No room for or doubt
The mother knew was no choice
She had to end now

She crawled across the bloodstained
Her eyes averted from the glare
But secretly she knew she'd
A way this nightmare

[Lead:

A few more seconds the path
Between or damnation
Mankind would the aftermath speed
Of this confrontation
Got to strike for the
Leave the running blind
Go to the line
Got to strike for those unforgiving

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

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

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

Her blindness stunts the growth of power
grows within her like some poisonous flower
The blade of strikes her to the hilt
And so the flower inside begins to
But time is for action to be taken
No chance to dwell on or mistakes
No for dark excuses to be found
The of Salvation must be now!

me to the crimson flames
Thou the power should I be blind
To my wicked reign
And throw me to the pit of
me to the crimson flames
Thou bar the doors of hell
Incant these words of rule
Seal me in my cell

Dan]

And was read the incantation
Voices round and round
The woman smiled in elation
Mesmerized inside the

[Lead:

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

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

[Lead:

And inside the chamber stands
A single cell with hue
by spoken word of Man
Imbued power from spiritual Truth
Two imprisoned for eternity
Light and dark forever
Two souls that can be freed
A pathway will not be found
For beyond some foolish reach
And far from prying eyes

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

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