Luyện nghe bài hát Crimson II: Incantation

Let no man the gate to this most blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest wouldst reap
He must become a slave 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 and homes
To look down on the ruins was to and pity
All the suffering and heartache, all the and broken bones
For there a testament to the evil of a queen
A misery that spread a weak and stricken land
The crimson birth that swamped the in dark and deadly dreams
And all mankind did bow the power of her hand

And in the monastery sat a woman with a book
A manuscript lay within her frail and trembling arms
She around her nervously as guilt rose in her heart
But the of curiosity had drawn her out too far

She wavered on the of a dangerous decision
For this dark was no for human 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
it was a twist of fate, an absence of real thought
She wandered to a that before she'd never been
And all at once the interest of her had been caught
For no apparent reason had the women drawn in
Where rows of dusty books lay in an ominous

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

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

But for who seek eternity
For those who prosperity
From this single act of
Will raise you far above

Oh willing host who not know
The full desire of this
You where angels fear to go
Thou shalt embrace the reckoner
Thy halo of glory, hope's gage
May to be an evil pilgrimage

Something had beyond her control
A moment of madness unfettered a
That would relish a denied once before
By a desperate nation with it's to the wall
Within a split second of reading text
The spirit was and had fled from its nest
It was to grow from this 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 as a glorious new Virgin Birth

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

Dan]

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

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

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

Visions:]

The first was a engulfed by the sea
No dry in sight, not a mountain or tree
No rock jutted out from the endless
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 unstoppable
Mankind had been in an ocean 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 sword that was red to the

They fought as the sun high in the sky
Their fight would not end until one of them
No room did they for an error to make
For the future of was the trophy at stake

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

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

All day did the attack without halt
Though the other lay dead 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 picture of war and divisions
An army of marching as one
Aware that the end had begun

They arrived in a field, was wide and expansive
They waited in silence ready and pensive
The grassland was strewn with small crimson
Their fragrance was with the stench of the devil

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

The three visions, the Mother Superior
A bitter forewarning of was in store
This 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 both
And onwards she moved to where the lay
She leant over the baby and started to
She prayed for forgiveness for what she do
She prayed that the knife in her would aim true
But all of a sudden she was now
The baby had opened her eyes

Mike]

And into those eyes, the gazed
The look in her face was both and crazed
She was smothered and in confusion and sadness
The first to be gripped by foul crimson madness
This brutal could not be explained
No one single cause was suggested or
But no one could think a child was involved
And the mystery illness unresolved

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

The message clearly be discovered there
In the glimpse of the universe found in her
Her hypnotic, unbearably strong
Suspicions were growing, it wouldn't be
Oh host who doth not know
The full desire of prisoner
You where angels fear to go
Thou shalt soon the reckoner

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

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

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

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

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

Let no man the gate to this most blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and chaos be the they wouldst reap
He must n'er become a to this Child's beck and call
For she must never waken from her Sleep:

[Lead:

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

A movement in the
A flash of light
The stood before them
With murder in her
The women ran her
To try to the tide
Of purse and crimson
There was nowhere left to
Too was their reaction
They thrown back off their feet
Their throats were filled panic
As they stared as defeat
Too weak was protection
They staunch the trail
Of and vengeance
Meted out for this
So the mother's compatriots
with damning pain
Died writhing in the
They were and insane
They'd into the child's eyes
And in despair
images too hideous
For human to bear
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 knew there was no choice
She had to end now

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

Simon/Mike]

A few more seconds the path
Between or damnation
would face the aftermath speed
Of deadly confrontation
Got to for the eyes
Leave the monster running
Go to the line
Got to strike for those unforgiving

She veiled herself with trivial
A of insignificance
Her daughter failed to see
The of irrelevance

For a moment they face to face
No of what was soon to be
But her mind 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 those eyes

Simon]

Striking hard, fast in desperation
The around is filled with shades of red
to stand in weak anticipation
As rivulets of blood run the Child's head
The fills with screams of violent rage
Of and impotent frustration
with frenzied tidal waves of hate
The falls to earth in dark sedation

Her blindness stunts the growth of nascent
That within her like some poisonous flower
The blade of darkness strikes her to the
And so the flower inside begins to
But time is for action to be taken
No to dwell on pity or mistakes
No for dark excuses to be found
The moment of must be now!

me to the crimson flames
Thou hast the power should I be
To overthrow my wicked
And throw me to the pit of
me to the crimson flames
Thou shalt bar the doors of
Incant words of sacred rule
Seal me in my crimson

Dan]

And was read the incantation
echoed round and round
The woman smiled in elation
Mesmerized the sounds

Dan]

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

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

[Lead:

And still inside the chamber
A single cell with hue
Resealed by word of Man
Imbued with from spiritual Truth
Two souls imprisoned for
Light and dark forever
Two souls that can be freed
A pathway back not be found
For trapped beyond some reach
And far away prying eyes

No channel now to or preach
No chance to influence or
The sacrifice she took
Ensured the 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 this Crimson Sleep
