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
