Luyện nghe bài hát Crimson II: Incantation

Let no man breach the gate to most blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and 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 above the ruined city
It shadowed all the new settlements and homes
To look down on the ruins was to sympathize and
All the and heartache, all the graves and broken bones
For there a testament to the evil of a queen
A misery spread across a weak and stricken land
The crimson birth that swamped the earth in dark and deadly
And all did bow beneath the power of her hand

And in the monastery sat a woman with a book
A that lay within 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 dark tome was no for human eyes to ever read
The pages dripped with legions of persuasive words and
So the had been hidden well, but now it had been freed

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

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

And now she sat alone in the concealment of the
She was hungry now to liberate the writings their cage
The of a feeble moon provided her with light
As she opened up the cover and to read the page
Fly, soul, the guest,
your impish arrant
Let none be by false confession
Truth shall be your
Fly soul for your must die

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

Oh willing host who doth not
The full desire of this
You walk where fear to go
Thou shalt soon the reckoner
Thy halo of glory, true gage
May to be an evil pilgrimage

Something had happened her control
A moment of unfettered a soul
That would relish a freedom denied once
By a desperate with it's back to the wall
Within a second of reading this text
The was free and had fled from its nest
It was eager to grow from sudden reprieve
And in the woman a life was conceived
From the beginning the world was
As a was born in a monastery bed
The miracle happening on this Earth
Was perceived as a new Virgin Birth

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

[Lead:

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

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

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

[The

The first was a planet 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 animals in the forests or fields
All life was 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 depicted two swordsmen in a duel
The one held a that 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 did they have for an error to make
For the future of life was the at stake

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

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

All day did the swordsman attack without
the other lay dead from the frenzied assault
Until by the twilight and all 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 of saviors marching as one
that the end had already begun

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

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

The three visions, the Mother bore
A forewarning of what was in store
This infant so must not grow to be strong
The world was at if she waited too long
So by the blackness of night she did creep
And enter where mother and child were both
And she moved to where the crib lay
She leant the baby and started to pray
She for forgiveness for what she would do
She prayed that the knife in her hand would aim
But all of a sudden she was now
The baby daughter had opened her

[Lead:

And into those eyes, the gazed
The look in her face was both and crazed
She was smothered and swamped in and sadness
The first to be gripped by this crimson madness
brutal psychosis could not be explained
No one cause was suggested or blamed
But no one think that a child was involved
And the mystery remained unresolved

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

The message could be discovered there
In the glimpse of the universe found in her
Her hypnotic, unbearably strong
Suspicions were growing, it be long
Oh willing host who doth not
The full desire of this
You walk where fear to go
Thou shalt soon embrace the

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

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

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

Salvation lies in 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 burning
A steady heart must seal her back within her crimson

And thou who didst release most vindictive enemy
Must to be her warder there for all eternity

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

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 slave to Child's beck and call
For she must never from her Crimson Sleep:

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

A movement in the
A flash of light
The child stood them
With in her eyes
The ran towards her
To try to stem the
Of purse and anger
There was nowhere left to
Too was their reaction
They were thrown back off their
Their throats were with panic
As they stared as defeat
Too was their protection
They couldn't the trail
Of vitriol and
Meted out for betrayal
So the mother's brave
Consumed with pain
Died writhing in the
They were bleeding and
They'd into the child's eyes
And in despair
From too hideous
For human to bear
lies in banishing
This to the dark
Let not your hand be
Or death will be mark"
But there was still one hope
No room for or doubt
The knew there was no choice
She had to end now

She across the bloodstained ground
Her eyes averted the steely glare
But secretly she she'd found
A way beyond nightmare

A few more seconds the path
Between success or
Mankind face the aftermath speed
Of deadly confrontation
Got to strike for the
Leave the running blind
Go to the line
Got to strike for those unforgiving

She veiled herself trivial thought
A mask of
Her failed to see beyond
The fabric of

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

[Lead:

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

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

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

Dan]

And thus was the incantation
echoed round and round
The woman in weak elation
inside the sounds

[Lead:

And with these of higher lore
So flesh began to fade
child and mother were no more
Their bodies now decayed

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

Mike]

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

No channel now to or preach
No chance to or guide
The final she took
the hope of the human race
And thus she the sacred book
A in her crimson space

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