Luyện nghe bài hát Crimson II: Incantation

Let no man breach the gate to this blasphemous of halls
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 from her Crimson Sleep..
The monastery towering above the ruined city
It shadowed all the new settlements and homes
To look on the ruins was to sympathize and pity
All the suffering and heartache, all the and broken bones
For buried there a testament to the of a queen
A misery that spread a weak and stricken land
The crimson birth that swamped the earth in and deadly dreams
And all mankind did bow beneath the power of her

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

She wavered on the of a dangerous decision
For this tome was no for human eyes to ever read
The pages dripped with legions of persuasive words and
So the volume had been well, but now it had been freed

For no reason had the woman 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 senses had been
For no apparent had the women been drawn in
Where rows of dusty lay in an ominous display

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

And now she sat alone in the of the night
She was hungry now to liberate the writings from cage
The glimmer of a moon provided her with light
As she opened up the cover and began to the page
Fly, soul, the guest,
Upon impish arrant
Let none be guiled by confession
shall be your warrant
Fly soul for body must die

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

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

Something had beyond her control
A moment of madness unfettered a
would relish a freedom denied once before
By a nation with it's back to the wall
Within a split of reading this text
The was free 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 here on this Earth
Was perceived as a new Virgin Birth

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

[Lead:

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

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

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

[The

The was a planet engulfed by the sea
No dry land in sight, not a mountain or
No rock jutted out from the endless
Or flowers to out the changing of seasons

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

By the of a violent unstoppable flood
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 that was and pure
The other a sword that was red to the

fought as the sun rose high in the sky
Their fight would not end one of them died
No did they have for an error to make
For the of life was the trophy at stake

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

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

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

And so the third of these unyielding visions
A picture of war and divisions
An army of saviors as one
Aware that the end had begun

They arrived in a field, which was and expansive
They waited in both ready and pensive
The was strewn with small crimson petals
Their fragrance was with the stench of the devil

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

The three visions, the Superior bore
A bitter of what was in store
This so frail must not grow to be strong
The world was at risk if she waited too
So veiled by the of night she did creep
And enter where mother and were both asleep
And onwards she moved to where the lay
She leant over the baby and started to
She prayed for forgiveness for she would do
She prayed the knife in her hand would aim true
But all of a she was now paralyzed
The baby daughter had her eyes

[Lead:

And into eyes, the woman gazed
The look in her was both haunted and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in and sadness
The first to be gripped by this crimson madness
This brutal psychosis 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 seemed as normal for seven short
A veil of dissolved any fears
But there was one lapse in the disguise
And that be seen in the depths of her eyes

The could clearly be discovered there
In the of the universe found in her stare
Her hypnotic, unbearably strong
Suspicions growing, it wouldn't be long
Oh willing who doth not know
The full desire of this
You walk where angels to go
Thou shalt soon the reckoner

Now and then a would be raised
misgivings threatened to be voiced
But these judgments wiser not to say
To the child could prove to be a rash and deadly choice
By now the Crimson reign had too much
The monastery was under dread
But fear decreed that thoughts be crushed
For the creature had the power to crawl inside your
The mother in her darkest knew
The time had for action to be taken

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

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

Salvation lies in banishing creature to the dark
Let not your hand be or death will be your 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
serve to be her warder there for all eternity

One quiet night the lady traveled out beyond the
Her quest was one of urgency and human
She traveled companions to reach the ruined city
Where lay the means to save her kind, a path to their
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 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 become a slave to this Child's beck and call
For she must never from her Crimson Sleep:

[Lead:

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

A movement in the
A flash of light
The stood before them
murder in her eyes
The women ran her
To try to stem the
Of purse and crimson
There was nowhere left to
Too slow was their
They were back off their feet
Their throats were filled panic
As they as harsh defeat
Too weak was protection
They couldn't the trail
Of and vengeance
Meted out for betrayal
So the brave compatriots
with damning pain
Died in the dirt
They were and insane
They'd looked into the eyes
And in despair
From too hideous
For human to bear
lies in banishing
This creature to the
Let not your hand be
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 crawled across the bloodstained
Her eyes averted from the glare
But secretly she knew she'd
A way this nightmare

Simon/Mike]

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

She veiled herself with trivial
A mask of
Her daughter to see beyond
The fabric of

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

[Lead:

hard, striking fast 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 fills with screams of violent rage
Of petulance and impotent
Consumed with frenzied tidal of hate
The falls to earth in dark sedation

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

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

[Lead:

And thus was read the
echoed round and round
The woman smiled in weak
Mesmerized the sounds

[Lead:

And these chants of higher lore
So mortal began to fade
Soon child and were no more
earthly bodies now decayed

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

Mike]

And still inside the stands
A cell with crimson hue
Resealed by word of Man
Imbued with power from spiritual
Two souls imprisoned for
Light and forever bound
Two that never can be freed
A pathway back will not be
For beyond some foolish reach
And far away from prying

No now to lead or preach
No chance to or guide
The sacrifice she took
Ensured the hope of the human
And she holds the sacred book
A captive in her space

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