Let no man breach the gate to this most of halls
Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they 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 above the ruined city
It shadowed all the new emerging settlements and
To look on the ruins was to sympathize and pity
All the suffering and heartache, all the graves and broken
For buried a testament to the evil of a queen
A misery spread across a weak and stricken land
The crimson birth that swamped the earth in dark and dreams
And all did bow beneath the power of her hand

And in the monastery sat a woman with a book
A that lay within her frail and trembling arms
She around her nervously as guilt rose in her heart
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 eyes to ever read
The pages dripped with legions of words 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 of fate, an absence of real thought
She wandered to a room that she'd never been
And all at once the interest of her senses had been
For no reason had the women been 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 hungry now to the writings from their cage
The glimmer of a feeble moon provided her with
As she opened up the cover and began to read the
Fly, soul, the guest,
Upon your impish
Let none be guiled by false
shall be your warrant
Fly soul for your body die

But for those who eternity
For those who yearn
From single act of sanity
Will you far above humanity

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

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

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

[Lead:

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

Secure from the world, the child hidden
A disguised in the Garden of Eden
And all who looked on this newly born babe
Were ignorant now of the this would take
The people were blind to the control
That was exercised upon every soul
With no room to question this life
All fears would be 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 in sight, not a mountain or tree
No rock jutted out from the horizon
Or flowers to mark out the changing of

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

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

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

They fought as the sun rose in the sky
Their fight would not end until one of 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 had the other one fooled
As he held up his in a gesture of peace
The silver opponent allowed this

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

All day did the attack without halt
Though the other lay dead from the assault
by the twilight and all that remained
Were the echoes of death and a crimson stain

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

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

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

The three visions, the Superior bore
A bitter forewarning of was in store
This infant so frail must not grow to be
The world was at risk if she waited too
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 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 daughter had opened her eyes

Mike]

And those eyes, the woman 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 psychosis could not be explained
No one single cause was suggested or
But no one think that a child was involved
And the illness remained unresolved

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

The message could clearly be discovered
In the of the universe found in her stare
Her gaze hypnotic, strong
were growing, it wouldn't be long
Oh host who doth not know
The full desire of prisoner
You walk angels fear to go
shalt soon embrace the reckoner

Now and then a would be raised
misgivings threatened to be voiced
But these judgments wiser 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 decreed that hostile thoughts be crushed
For the creature had the power to crawl your head
The mother in her darkest knew
The time had come for to be taken

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

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

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

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

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

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 slave to this Child's and call
For she must never waken her Crimson Sleep:

Mike]

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

A in the shadows
A flash of light
The child before them
With in her eyes
The ran towards her
To try to the tide
Of purse and anger
There was nowhere left to
Too slow was reaction
They were thrown off their feet
Their were filled with panic
As they stared as harsh
Too weak was their
They staunch the trail
Of vitriol and
Meted out for this
So the brave compatriots
Consumed with damning
Died writhing in the
were bleeding and insane
They'd looked into the eyes
And in despair
From images too
For minds to bear
Salvation in banishing
This creature to the
Let not your be hesitant
Or will be your mark"
But there was still one single
No room for or doubt
The knew there was no choice
She had to end now

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

Simon/Mike]

A few seconds spanned the path
Between or damnation
Mankind face the aftermath speed
Of this deadly
Got to for the eyes
Leave the monster blind
Go to the line
Got to for those unforgiving eyes

She veiled herself with thought
A mask of
Her daughter failed to see
The fabric of

For a moment were face to face
No sign of was soon to be
But still her refused to break
Those thoughts must not be
Got to for the eyes
Leave the running blind
Go to cross the
Got to strike for unforgiving eyes

[Lead:

Striking hard, fast in desperation
The world around is filled 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 frustration
Consumed with frenzied tidal waves of
The princess falls to in dark sedation

Her blindness stunts the growth of nascent
That within her like some poisonous flower
The blade of darkness her to the hilt
And so the inside begins to wilt
But is short for action to be taken
No chance to dwell on or mistakes
No chance for dark excuses to be
The of Salvation must be now!

Cast me to the flames
hast the power should I be blind
To overthrow my wicked
And me to the pit of time
Cast me to the flames
Thou shalt bar the doors of
Incant these of sacred rule
Seal me in my cell

[Lead:

And thus was read the
Voices echoed round and
The smiled in weak elation
Mesmerized inside the

Dan]

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

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

[Lead:

And inside the chamber stands
A single cell with hue
Resealed by word of Man
Imbued with power from Truth
Two souls for eternity
Light and dark bound
Two souls never can be freed
A pathway back will not be
For beyond some foolish reach
And far from prying eyes

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

Lest bitterness and chaos be the they wouldst reap
For she must never waken from this Sleep
