Crimson



Prologue:

In a very distant future, the last generation of planet earth

has come to a point where they cannot breed anymore.

When everybody had lost their faith, a child was born, 

but no one could be the father, except for a god.

This child was a gift from the skies of life-divine or...



Another sky is young

Another frozen future has passed

Another breed, another cast

The rivers will run, brought to life by the sun

The circle is still unbroken



Oh, what a sight to see

Reborn life, destined for all eternity



Hail the king!

For he has chosen not to drain 

the god-sent child

A gift from the skies of life divine

Now we know

A glimpse of hope grows inside

A change of tide

Answered prayers of survival



Miracles

The offspring of the unknown gods

Beautifies

the aura of this dying breed.

So they succeed

in their quest for continued time

Celebrate

The knowledge of the everlasting, never-dying.



Cursed to be walking in the shadows of death for a lifetime

No more fears for what the years will bring

Rebuild the shattered dream

And now a brighter future has come

Another end remains undone

And an era begins

Bringing life free from sins

Oh it's a token, the circle is broken



(The drop of blood from her mouth slowly fell down to the ground. 

The child inside dried her out. The king's beloved is no more.)



The chosen one felt the time had come 

To show the world what had grown within

This day of life

A sacred moment in time

When joy and pain collide

It takes a life to create a life

Now she's gone



Anger and hate, 

Fear and despair fills up his mind

In search for answers he can't find

What god would end a life so pure

She was the one worth dying for

Alone with princess angel-sent

Her eyes so blue, my hate relents

Her destiny is in my hands

She was born to rule these desert lands



A sacrifice

A life arises

When one love has come, another dies.

I let her go and I do not know

Where to find her soul 

So alone



Oh, does she hold the power?

Is she a blessing from the skies?

Is this the answer

To where the secret lies?

And in her eyes I see a light is shining through

I feel that there is hope for a world so brave and new



Many seasons have changed 

And the king is old and weak

The princess has come of age

But still the gift of life they seek



In the chambers of crimson sleep

In this vault of souls to reap

The future lies in the hands of the shrewd

Or the earth will die in solitude



The darkest night, the enchanted skies were united in a storm

Unholiness and all that's unblessed appeared in another form

Like a raging plague, all across the land all women gave birth to man

Raped by the wind, and forced to bring life to the hundred bastard sons



The unholy ones will give 

Strength for all evil to live

And the fires of death burn high

The time has come for the king to die



A whole world is mourning 

The loss of their king

In sorrow a new day dawning

Now the princess is their everything

A procession to the chambers

where they kiss their fathers ring

But can you hear the angel

Of sadness sing?

With broken wings



And with death came disorder.

Who were they now to obey?

No leader, no followers.

No trust, no faith.

The princess is too young to tame a land.

A new king must be chosen.

In search for such a man of trust,

There will be contradictions.



Coming forth on desert ground

The incarnation of a king in sleep profound



Another self-proclaimed king

Set to rule in the new empire

On a mission to save the forsaken ones

And to re-light the dying fire



The crowd was confused and divided in two

A battle was about to begin

Another man with a will as strong

Declared a war to win

His army of believers was 

Faithful, mighty and brave

Set to capture the liar

To forever enslave



His troops were marching 

On to the battlefield

To set this world on fire

His forces are never giving yield



War!

Massacres Abound

They fought for what would be a blood-stained crown

Utter chaos supreme

The sand absorbs the color of dawn.

Nevermore 

Shall they dream

Nevermore



The years went by under a blood-red sky

The king still suppress the rebellion lie

He is the one, the self-chosen son

Master of the throne he rules upon



The sacred child awakened 

From her crystal sleep

And the earth was shaking

And the people prayed for their souls to keep

The light of day is flowing 

Into her virgin eyes

Oh, the sun is stolen



A dark formation in the skies

Unites the powers in her eyes

Her soul's inhaling all the living light

Bringing on the dark, eternal night

Gathering evil in all its

Might



Seven years

Purity

Innocence

Dignity

Hail

Hail the queen!

Ruling supreme



She is queen alone 

In the human zone

Dethroned the king pure

The masses were assured

She fought without a sword

She regained their hope and faith



Draining the liar in the crimson water

To bring him eternal pain

His soul is slaughtered

Eternalizing pain

Scream in silence

None shall hear his cries encaged

The unroyal king

Surrendered to the child of life divine



A hundred fortnights passed 

But still no signs of aging

Her endless youth, amazed

The world was raging

A shattered race

in this broken land

This child came to restore

Like an order from the gods



The queen and all the children gathered around

The chambers where the elder ones are joined in sleep profound

In wrath they crush the tanks of crystal glass

The crimson water gushed on to the ground 

in the unholy mac...eration

Their souls no longer cried

Die!

Their gift of life denied



She drinks the life-blood from the feebled man

Empty bodies, soul-drained by the virgin queen

Finally given the pleasure to die



She aligns 

the hate inside their hearts

Her chosen knights

will make sure all life departs

Soon comes the end of all

she watched a chamber fall

She heard her master call



"Live my words, oh, sacred child.

You're soon to leave this world defiled."

"Then what awaits me my lord?"

"Trust me my child, 

Your wishes shall not be ignored."

And then he spoke his mind

Now his will is hers

"The earth shall fall.

The eternal curse

Is cast on the sands they walk.



Now you must use your power.

Show the human race you are the one.

Use their trust forever

and then deceive their weakened minds.

Fool them to destroy themselves in hopelessness.

Belie their seeds, belie their dreams.

Hope has ceased to be."



The people worshiped their queen

Such beauty before her time was unseen

Their were fooled by her presence and disguise

Faithfully they listened

And swallowed all her lies

"The times are changing,

Re-arranging he pattern of our lives.

So let your heart stop beating

beneath this twisted sky."

They were embraced by sadness

But not afraid to die



"So pass this sacred dagger

And let yourself fly free.

So pretend you are dreaming

And rise above this world of you and me."



Liar!

All those who died with you by their side were denied 

access to the higher ground

Betrayal!

Eternal detest from the ones left unblessed, so possessed

Their last caress was your knife in their hearts



Fed from her deed

Watching them bleed

In her own conceit

A world to delete, lies at her feet

Her demon inside

Do no longer hide

Showing its face of hate and disgrace

Leaving their savior unpraised



The ones who didn't follow

Now sharing this moment of grief

The end of their own existence?

In death they had no belief

Despite all the faith in their queen 

They couldn't believe what they had seen

What was the reason to this sacrifice?

Nothing is gained from this great demise

After the ordeal we know

She has the powers to deceive us all

But their dream of sons and daughters

Has made them standing tall

For the king had showed them it could be done

When his woman gave birth to the sacred one

But is she of man, made of flesh and blood

Or is she the offspring of the unholy

God?



A leader was chosen

To unveil the hidden truth

The brave ones were gathered

The strongest were sent to the queen

Her reason to be must be known



After many moons 

The troops reach the temple of their majesty

Guarded by a hundred faithful knights

There is no escape

There's no entry to her sacred halls

Is our vision true or false?



They tried to find the answer 

But they were led astray 

Into a maze of slumber

Far from the light of day

The riddle remained unanswered

The queen could read ones mind

Make sure that none will find

The reason for her mission here



The highness writhe in anger

Her trust had been betrayed

The queen was filled with anger

Her decisions have been made



She would unleash her hate

Destined to devastate

She heard her demons roar

Marching into war



The spirit of their beloved king has spoke unto his men

He came to bring a message of great importance and trust

"The gift from the gods has come to cover the world in dust.

Her forces are closing in to your sanctuary.

So use your imagination to end her reign.

Remember these words, and be strong!"



The chosen few

Were sacrificed for the others life

They were the bait

They would seal the soldiers fate

A massive grave

To break the soldiers spell

The forces fell into the abyss

Never to rise again



Towards the queen

The last of the brave ones wandered

To terminate

This creature non-divine

The loss of troops

Forced her powers to release

The magic uncontrolled

That had wasted a thousand souls



The palace controlled by demons

Is the heart of all evil possessed

By the queen and her unholy servants

"If we destroy it, the earth will be ours

And it will bring us eternal existence.

We'll pray for the gift of breeding.

This is a game we can't concede,

It is worth all the blood we may bleed."



We must close the gate

So she can't return

We'll seal her fate

Watch her temple burn

And we will capture her soul

In the chambers of crimson sleep

And there she will suffer eternally

For what she has done to man



We fought our way into her dwelling-place

We searched the corridors of this infernal maze

To seek our enemy, the one to slay

We are the ones, we will not obey



A disillusioned servant

With great knowledge in her secrets

We found him walking aimlessly

Trying to find his peace

He said: "Cover her eyes,

They are the root of her inhuman forces.

Then she's just the child you thought she was.

Disconnect all her sources."

They found a way to blind her

And it could cost some lives

But they must seal the entry

From where all evil derives



Two of the brave ones were sent to distract her

While the others made their way to behind her throne

She saw her enemies for the last time

As their leader covered her eyes

We saw the return of innocence

The symbol of purity we once knew



We carried her to the chambers

To forever lock-up her soul

We uncovered her eyes in the crimson waters

Eternalize the mind(?)



And now the reborn earth

Blessed with the gift of birth

Can see her in this cage

That eternally preserves her rage

They captured all her soldiers

And forever encaged their cries

They had found a new leader to worship

A king with her clear-blue eyes
