Luyện nghe bài hát Crimson II: Incantation

Let no man breach the gate to this most blasphemous of
Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst
He must n'er a slave to this Child's beck and call
For she must waken from her Crimson Sleep..
The stood towering above the ruined city
It all the new emerging settlements and homes
To down on the ruins 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 that spread across a weak and stricken land
The crimson birth that swamped the earth in dark and dreams
And all mankind did bow beneath the power of her

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

She wavered on the of a dangerous decision
For this dark tome was no for eyes to ever read
The pages dripped legions of persuasive words 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 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 apparent reason had the women drawn in
rows of dusty books lay in an ominous display

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

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

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

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

had happened beyond her control
A moment of madness a soul
That would relish a freedom once before
By a desperate nation with it's back to the
Within a split second of reading text
The spirit was free and had from its nest
It was eager to grow from this sudden
And in the woman a life was conceived
the beginning the world was misled
As a baby was in a monastery bed
The happening here on this Earth
Was perceived as a glorious new Virgin

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

[Lead:

But for those who seek
For those who yearn
From this 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 on this newly born babe
Were ignorant now of the this would take
The people were blind to the subtle
That was exercised daily upon soul
With no to question this delicate life
All fears be drowned and all doubts would be stifled

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

[The

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 dwelt in the forests or fields
All was extinct; its fate had been sealed

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

The next was vivid and cruel
It depicted two swordsmen engrossed in a
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 have for an to make
For the future of was the trophy at stake

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

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

All day did the swordsman 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 unyielding visions
A picture of war and ferocious
An army of saviors as one
that the end had already begun

They arrived in a field, which was wide and
They waited in silence ready and pensive
The was strewn with small crimson petals
Their fragrance was sweet with the of the devil

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

The three visions, the Superior bore
A bitter of what was in store
infant so frail must not grow 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 to pray
She prayed for for what she would do
She prayed that the in her hand would aim true
But all of a she was now paralyzed
The daughter had opened her eyes

[Lead:

And those eyes, the woman gazed
The look in her was both haunted and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in and sadness
The to be gripped by this foul crimson madness
This psychosis could not be explained
No one single cause was suggested or
But no one could think that a was involved
And the mystery remained unresolved

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

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

Now and a question would be raised
misgivings threatened to be voiced
But these were wiser not to say
To doubt the child could 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 time had come for to be taken

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

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

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

And thou who didst release this most enemy
serve to be her warder there for all eternity

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

Let no man breach the gate to this blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they reap
He must become a slave to this Child's beck and call
For she never 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 dreadful it chilled their very
The cell had long been drained and all around the lay shattered

A in the shadows
A flash of blazing
The child before them
With in her eyes
The ran towards her
To try to stem the
Of purse and crimson
There was left to hide
Too was their reaction
They were thrown back off their
Their throats were filled panic
As they stared as harsh
Too weak was protection
They staunch the trail
Of vitriol and
Meted out for betrayal
So the mother's brave
Consumed with damning
Died in the dirt
They were bleeding and
They'd looked into the child's
And crumbled in
From images too
For human minds to
Salvation in banishing
creature to the dark
Let not your be hesitant
Or death will be mark"
But was still one single hope
No for fear or doubt
The mother knew there was no
She had to end now

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

[Lead:

A few more seconds spanned the
Between or damnation
Mankind would face the speed
Of deadly confrontation
Got to for the eyes
Leave the monster blind
Go to cross the
Got to strike for those eyes

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

For a they were face to face
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 running blind
Go to cross the
Got to strike for those unforgiving

Striking hard, fast in desperation
The world around is filled with of red
Forced to in weak anticipation
As rivulets of blood run down the head
The chamber fills screams of violent rage
Of petulance and frustration
Consumed with frenzied tidal waves of
The falls to earth in dark sedation

Her blindness stunts the growth of nascent
That within her like some poisonous flower
The of darkness 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 chance for dark to be found
The of Salvation must be now!

me to the crimson flames
Thou hast the should I be blind
To overthrow my wicked
And throw me to the pit of
Cast me to the crimson
Thou bar the doors of hell
Incant these words of sacred
Seal me in my cell

[Lead:

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

[Lead:

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
Thou bar the doors of hell
Incant words of sacred rule
me in my crimson cell

[Lead:

And still the chamber stands
A single cell with hue
by spoken word of Man
Imbued with power from Truth
Two souls for eternity
and dark forever bound
Two souls that never can be
A pathway will not be found
For trapped beyond foolish reach
And far from prying eyes

No now to lead or preach
No to influence or guide
The final sacrifice she
Ensured the of the human race
And thus she holds the book
A in her crimson space

bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap
For she must never waken from Crimson Sleep
