Let no man the gate to this most blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and chaos be the they wouldst reap
He n'er become a slave to this Child's beck and call
For she must never from her Crimson Sleep..
The monastery stood towering above the city
It shadowed all the new settlements and homes
To look down on the was to sympathize and pity
All the and heartache, all the graves and broken bones
For buried 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 dreams
And all mankind did bow the power of her hand

And in the monastery garden sat a woman with a
A manuscript that lay within her and trembling arms
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 was no for human eyes to ever read
The pages dripped with legions of persuasive and visions
So the volume had hidden 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 she'd never
And all at the interest of her senses had been caught
For no apparent reason had the been drawn in
Where of dusty books lay in an ominous display

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

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

But for those who eternity
For those who yearn
From this single act of
raise you far above humanity

Oh willing host who doth not
The full desire of prisoner
You where angels fear to go
Thou soon embrace the reckoner
Thy halo of glory, true gage
May prove to be an pilgrimage

Something had happened her control
A moment of unfettered a soul
That would relish a freedom denied before
By a desperate nation it's back to the wall
Within a second of reading this text
The was free and had fled from its nest
It was eager to grow this sudden reprieve
And in the woman a life was conceived
From the beginning the world was
As a baby was born in a bed
The miracle happening here on this
Was as a glorious new Virgin Birth

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

Dan]

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

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

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

[The

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

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

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

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

They fought as the sun rose 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 life was the trophy at

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

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

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

And so came the third of unyielding visions
A of war and ferocious divisions
An army of marching as one
Aware 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 small crimson petals
Their was sweet with the stench of the devil

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

The visions, the Mother Superior bore
A bitter forewarning of what was in
This infant so frail must not to be strong
The world was at risk if she too long
So veiled by the blackness of she did creep
And enter where mother and child were asleep
And onwards she to where the crib lay
She leant over the baby and started to
She prayed for forgiveness for what she do
She prayed that the in her hand would aim true
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 haunted and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in confusion and
The to be gripped by this foul crimson madness
This psychosis could not be explained
No one single was suggested or blamed
But no one could think a child was involved
And the illness remained unresolved

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

The could clearly be discovered 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 walk angels fear to go
Thou shalt soon the reckoner

Now and then a question would be
Strong threatened to be voiced
But were judgments wiser not to say
To doubt the child prove to be a rash and deadly choice
By now the Crimson had proved too much
The monastery was shadowed dread
But decreed that hostile thoughts be crushed
For the creature had the to crawl inside your head
The mother in her moment knew
The had come for action to be taken

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

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

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

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

One quiet night the traveled out beyond the monastery
Her quest was one of and human preservation
She traveled with to reach the ruined city
Where lay the means to save her kind, a path to salvation
there they searched for evidence of where the Queen once slept
And came upon a gateway, which was closed and barred
A stark inscription warned them of the risk of their next
But choices were no 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 become a slave to this Child's and call
For she must never waken from her Sleep:

[Lead:

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

A in the shadows
A of blazing light
The stood before them
With murder in her
The women ran her
To try to stem the
Of purse and anger
was nowhere left to hide
Too slow was their
They were thrown off their feet
Their throats were filled panic
As stared as harsh defeat
Too weak was their
They staunch the trail
Of vitriol and
Meted out for this
So the brave compatriots
with damning pain
Died writhing in the
were bleeding and insane
They'd into the child's eyes
And in despair
images too hideous
For human to bear
Salvation lies in
This creature to the
Let not your be hesitant
Or will be your mark"
But was still one single hope
No room for or doubt
The knew there was no choice
She had to end now

She across the bloodstained ground
Her eyes from the steely glare
But secretly she she'd found
A way beyond this

Simon/Mike]

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

She herself with trivial thought
A of insignificance
Her daughter to see beyond
The fabric of

For a moment they were face to
No sign of what was to be
But still her mind to break
thoughts must not be seen
Got to for the eyes
Leave the monster blind
Go to cross the
Got to strike for those eyes

Simon]

Striking hard, striking in desperation
The around is filled with shades of red
to stand in weak anticipation
As rivulets of run down the Child's head
The chamber with screams of violent rage
Of petulance and frustration
Consumed with frenzied waves of hate
The falls to earth in dark sedation

Her blindness the growth of nascent power
That grows within her like some 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 pity or
No for dark excuses to be found
The moment of Salvation be now!

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

[Lead:

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

[Lead:

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

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

Mike]

And still inside the stands
A single with crimson hue
by spoken word of Man
Imbued with power from Truth
Two souls imprisoned for
Light and dark bound
Two that never can be freed
A back will not be found
For trapped beyond some foolish
And far away from prying

No channel now to or preach
No chance to influence or
The final 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 they wouldst reap
For she must never waken from this Crimson
