Luyện nghe bài hát Crimson II: Incantation

Let no man breach the gate to this blasphemous of halls
Lest and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap
He must become a slave to this Child's beck and call
For she must never from her Crimson Sleep..
The monastery stood towering above the 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 graves and bones
For buried a testament to the evil of a queen
A misery that spread across a weak and stricken
The crimson birth that the earth in dark and deadly dreams
And all did bow beneath the power of her hand

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

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

For no apparent had the woman been drawn in
Perhaps it was a of fate, an absence of real thought
She wandered to a that before she'd never been
And all at the interest of her senses had been caught
For no reason had the women been drawn in
Where rows of dusty books lay in an display

But one leather binding had the grain of human skin
And seized with 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 feeble provided her with light
As she opened up the cover and to read the page
Fly, soul, the guest,
Upon your arrant
Let none be by false confession
Truth be your warrant
Fly soul for your must die

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

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

Something had beyond her control
A moment of madness a soul
That relish a freedom denied once before
By a desperate with it's back to the wall
Within a second of reading this text
The spirit was free and had fled its nest
It was eager to grow from this reprieve
And thus in the woman a was conceived
From the beginning the was misled
As a was born in a monastery bed
The miracle happening here on this
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 its time undiscovered
So in the cradling arms of the mother

[Lead:

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

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

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

[The

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

No dwelt in the forests or fields
All was extinct; its fate had been sealed

By the curse of a violent unstoppable
had been drowned in an ocean of blood

The next revelation was vivid and
It two swordsmen engrossed 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 one of them died
No room did they have for an to make
For the future of life was the at stake

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

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

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

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

They arrived in a field, which was and expansive
waited in silence both ready and pensive
The was strewn with small crimson 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 still lie bereft of their willpower
Brought to their by the strength of a flower

The three visions, the Mother Superior
A bitter forewarning of what was in
infant so frail must not grow to be strong
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 to where the crib lay
She leant over the and started to pray
She prayed for for what she would do
She prayed that the knife in her hand would aim
But all of a sudden she was now
The daughter had opened her eyes

Mike]

And into those eyes, the woman
The look in her face was haunted and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in confusion and
The first to be gripped by this foul madness
This brutal could not be explained
No one single cause was suggested or
But no one could think that a child was
And the mystery remained unresolved

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

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

Now and then a question would be
misgivings threatened to be voiced
But these were wiser not to say
To the child could prove to be a rash and deadly choice
By now the reign had proved too much
The monastery was shadowed dread
But fear decreed that hostile thoughts be
For the creature had the power to crawl your head
The mother in her darkest moment
The time had come for to be taken

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

This tome presented further views
Essential of power were revealed
And thus the offered up one clue
The bore one significant Archilles Heel
Should the Crimson Queen be blinded, then powerless 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 will be mark
regained sight should speed her flight away from burning hell
A heart 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 out beyond the monastery
Her quest was one of urgency and human
She traveled with companions to reach the city
Where lay the means to save her kind, a to their salvation
When they searched for evidence of where the Queen once slept
And came upon a gateway, was tightly closed and barred
A stark inscription warned them of the risk of their step
But choices were no more; had already come too far

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

[Lead:

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

A movement in the
A of blazing light
The child stood them
With in her eyes
The women ran her
To try to stem the
Of and crimson anger
There was nowhere left to
Too was their reaction
They were thrown back off their
Their throats were with panic
As stared as harsh defeat
Too weak was protection
They couldn't staunch the
Of vitriol and
out for this betrayal
So the mother's compatriots
Consumed with damning
Died writhing in the
They were and insane
They'd into the child's eyes
And crumbled in
From too hideous
For human to bear
Salvation lies in
This creature to the
Let not hand be hesitant
Or death be your mark"
But there was still one single
No room for fear or
The mother there was no choice
She had to end now

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

[Lead:

A few more seconds spanned the
Between or damnation
Mankind would the aftermath speed
Of this confrontation
Got to for the eyes
Leave the monster running
Go to cross the
Got to for those unforgiving eyes

She herself with trivial thought
A of insignificance
Her failed to see beyond
The of irrelevance

For a they were face to face
No sign of was soon to be
But still her mind to break
thoughts must not be seen
Got to strike for the
the monster running blind
Go to cross the
Got to strike for those eyes

Simon]

Striking hard, striking in desperation
The world around is with shades of red
Forced to stand in anticipation
As rivulets of blood run down the head
The chamber fills with screams of rage
Of and impotent frustration
Consumed frenzied tidal waves of hate
The princess falls to earth in dark

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

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

Dan]

And thus was read the
Voices round and round
The woman in weak elation
inside the sounds

[Lead:

And with these chants of higher
So mortal flesh to fade
Soon child and mother no more
Their earthly now decayed

me to the crimson flames
Thou shalt bar the of hell
these words of sacred rule
Seal me in my cell

[Lead:

And inside the chamber stands
A cell with crimson hue
Resealed by word of Man
Imbued with from spiritual Truth
Two imprisoned for eternity
Light and dark bound
Two souls that never can be
A pathway back will not be
For trapped beyond some reach
And far away prying eyes

No now to lead or preach
No chance to influence or
The sacrifice she took
Ensured the hope of the human
And thus she the sacred book
A in her crimson space

Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst
For she must waken from this Crimson Sleep
