Luyện nghe bài hát Crimson II: Incantation

Let no man the gate to this most blasphemous of halls
Lest bitterness and be the harvest they wouldst reap
He must n'er become a slave to this beck and call
For she must never waken from her Sleep..
The monastery stood towering 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 graves and broken
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 and deadly dreams
And all mankind did bow beneath the power of her

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

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

For no apparent reason had the woman been in
Perhaps it was a twist of fate, an absence of 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 books 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 concealment of the
She was hungry now to liberate the writings their 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,
your impish arrant
Let be guiled by false confession
Truth shall be your
Fly soul for your body die

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

Oh willing host who doth not
The full of this prisoner
You walk where angels to go
Thou shalt embrace the reckoner
Thy halo of glory, true gage
May prove to be an evil

Something had happened beyond her
A moment of madness a soul
That would relish a freedom denied once
By a desperate nation 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 from this sudden reprieve
And thus in the woman a was conceived
From the beginning the world was
As a baby was born in a bed
The miracle happening here on this
Was perceived as a glorious new Birth

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

Dan]

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

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

But one mind did stand out from the crowd
Though quiet at first - with hardly a
The Mother Superior harbored
Brought to her heart by three 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 of seasons

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

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

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

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

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

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

All day did the swordsman attack halt
Though the lay dead from the frenzied assault
Until by the twilight and all that
Were the echoes of 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 already

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

And slowly but surely they fell sleep
Their consciousness as they 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 what was in
This infant so frail 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 child were asleep
And she moved to where the crib lay
She leant over the and started to pray
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 daughter had opened her eyes

Mike]

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

So all seemed as for seven short years
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 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 host who not know
The full desire of prisoner
You walk angels fear to go
shalt soon embrace the reckoner

Now and then a would be raised
Strong misgivings threatened to be
But these were judgments not to say
To doubt the child could prove to be a rash and deadly
By now the Crimson reign had proved too
The monastery was shadowed dread
But fear decreed that hostile thoughts be
For the creature had the power to crawl your head
The in her darkest moment knew
The had come for action to be taken

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

This tome presented many further
Essential rules of power revealed
And the pages offered up one clue
The child bore one significant Archilles
Should the Crimson Queen be blinded, then she'll be
of piercing vision, her victims will be free

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

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

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

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

[Lead:

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

A in the shadows
A flash of light
The child stood them
murder in her eyes
The women ran her
To try to the tide
Of purse and anger
There was nowhere left to
Too slow was reaction
They were thrown back off their
Their throats filled with panic
As stared as harsh defeat
Too weak was protection
They staunch the trail
Of vitriol and
out for this betrayal
So the mother's compatriots
Consumed with damning
Died in the dirt
They were and insane
They'd looked the child's eyes
And crumbled in
From images too
For human to bear
Salvation lies in
creature to the dark
Let not your be hesitant
Or death be your mark"
But there was one single hope
No room for or doubt
The mother knew there was no
She had to end now

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

[Lead:

A few seconds spanned the path
Between or damnation
Mankind face the aftermath speed
Of this confrontation
Got to strike for the
Leave the monster running
Go to the line
Got to strike for unforgiving eyes

She veiled herself with thought
A mask of
Her daughter to see beyond
The of irrelevance

For a moment they face 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
the monster running blind
Go to the line
Got to strike for those eyes

Simon]

Striking hard, fast in desperation
The world is filled with shades of red
Forced to in weak anticipation
As rivulets of blood run down the Child's
The chamber fills screams of violent rage
Of petulance and frustration
Consumed with frenzied waves of hate
The princess falls to earth in dark

Her blindness stunts the growth of power
That grows her like some poisonous flower
The blade of darkness her to the hilt
And so the inside begins to wilt
But is short for action to be taken
No chance to dwell on pity or
No chance for excuses to be found
The of Salvation must be now!

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

[Lead:

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

[Lead:

And with these chants of higher
So mortal began to fade
Soon child and mother were no
Their bodies now decayed

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

[Lead:

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

No now to lead or preach
No to influence or guide
The final she took
Ensured the hope of the race
And thus she holds the book
A captive in her space

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