Let no man breach the gate to this most 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 from her Crimson Sleep..
The monastery stood towering above the ruined
It shadowed all the new emerging and homes
To look down on the was to sympathize and pity
All the suffering and heartache, all the and broken bones
For buried there a 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 deadly
And all mankind did bow beneath the of her hand

And in the garden sat a woman with a book
A manuscript that lay her frail and trembling arms
She looked around her nervously as guilt in her heart
But the of curiosity 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 with legions of persuasive and visions
So the volume had been well, but now it had been freed

For no apparent reason had the woman drawn in
Perhaps it was a twist of fate, an absence of real
She wandered to a room that before she'd been
And all at once the interest of her senses had caught
For no apparent reason had the been drawn in
Where rows of dusty books lay in an ominous

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

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

But for who seek eternity
For those who yearn
From single act of sanity

Oh host who doth not know
The full desire of this
You walk where angels to go
shalt soon embrace the reckoner
Thy halo of glory, true gage
May prove to be an pilgrimage

had happened beyond her control
A moment of madness a soul
would relish a freedom denied once before
By a desperate nation with it's back to the
Within a split of reading this text
The spirit was free and had fled its nest
It was eager to from this sudden reprieve
And in the woman a life was conceived
From the beginning the world was
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 that was born
The sun did now rise on a new dawn
And the creature just bided its undiscovered
So safe in the cradling arms of the

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

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

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

[The

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And so came the of these unyielding visions
A picture of war and ferocious
An of saviors marching as one
that the end had already begun

They arrived in a field, was wide and expansive
They in silence both ready and pensive
The grassland was strewn with small petals
Their fragrance was sweet with the stench of the

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

The visions, the Mother 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 too long
So veiled by the of night she did creep
And enter where mother and were both asleep
And onwards she moved to the crib lay
She over the baby and started to pray
She prayed for for what she would do
She that the knife in her hand would aim true
But all of a sudden she was now
The baby had opened her eyes

[Lead:

And into eyes, the woman gazed
The look in her face was both haunted and
She was smothered and in confusion and sadness
The to be gripped by this foul crimson madness
This brutal could not be explained
No one cause was suggested or blamed
But no one could that a child was involved
And the illness remained unresolved

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

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

Now and then a question would be
misgivings threatened to be voiced
But were judgments wiser not to say
To doubt the child could to be a rash and deadly choice
By now the Crimson reign had too much
The monastery was under dread
But fear that hostile thoughts be crushed
For the had the power to crawl inside your head
The mother in her darkest moment
The time had come for action to be

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

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

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

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

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

Let no man breach the gate to this most blasphemous of
bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap
He n'er 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 their goal
And found themselves a cell where 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 blazing
The child before them
With in her eyes
The women ran her
To try to stem the
Of and crimson anger
There was nowhere to hide
Too slow was their
They were 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 brave compatriots
Consumed with pain
Died writhing in the
They bleeding and insane
looked into the child's eyes
And in despair
images too hideous
For human to bear
lies in banishing
This to the dark
Let not your be hesitant
Or will be your mark"
But there was one single hope
No for fear or doubt
The mother knew there was no
She had to end now

She crawled across the ground
Her eyes averted the steely glare
But secretly she knew she'd
A way beyond this

A few more spanned the path
Between success or
Mankind would face the aftermath
Of deadly confrontation
Got to for the eyes
the monster running blind
Go to the line
Got to for those unforgiving eyes

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

For a moment were face to face
No sign of what was to be
But still her mind 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

Simon]

Striking hard, fast in desperation
The world around is filled with of red
Forced to stand in weak
As of blood run down the Child's head
The chamber with screams of violent rage
Of petulance and impotent
Consumed frenzied tidal waves of hate
The princess falls to earth in dark

Her blindness stunts the of nascent power
That grows within her like some flower
The blade of strikes her to the hilt
And so the flower inside begins to
But time is short for to be taken
No chance to on pity or mistakes
No chance for dark to be found
The moment of must be now!

Cast me to the crimson
Thou hast the power should I be
To my wicked reign
And throw me to the pit of
Cast me to the flames
Thou bar the doors of hell
Incant these words of rule
Seal me in my crimson

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

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

Thou bar the doors of hell
Incant these words of sacred
Seal me in my crimson

Mike]

And still the chamber stands
A single with crimson hue
Resealed by word of Man
Imbued with from spiritual Truth
Two souls imprisoned for
Light and dark bound
Two that never can be freed
A pathway back not be found
For trapped beyond some foolish
And far from prying eyes

No now to lead or preach
No chance to influence or
The final sacrifice she
the hope of the human race
And thus she the sacred book
A captive in her crimson

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