Crimson

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 breed, another cast
Another frozen future has passed
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 godsent child, a gift from
The skies of life divine
Now we know
A glimpse of hope grow inside, a change of tide
The offspring of the unknown gods beautifies the aura of this
Miracles
Answered prayers of survival
Dying breed
So they succeed in their quest for continued time
Celebrate
Cursed to be walkin in the shadows of death for a lifetime
The knowledge of the everlasting, never-dying
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,
Oh, it's a token, the circle is broken
Bringing life free from sins
Ground
(The drop of blood from her mouth slowly fell down to the
Th 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
Fear and despair fills up his mind
Anger and hate
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
I let her go and I do not know where to find her soul so alo-
A life arises, when one love has come, another dies
Ne]
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 (Harmony: Andreas)
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 (Lead Guitar: Mike)
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
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 contradicti-
Ons
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! They fought for what would be a blood-stained crown
Utter chaos supreme
The sand absords the colour of dawn
Nevermore shall they dream, nevermore]
The years went by under a blood-red sky, the king still sup-
Press the rebellian 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 it's might
Seven years
Purity
Innocence
Dignity
Hail, hail the queen!
Ruling supreme
She is queen alone in the human zone, dethroned the king unpure
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 bane
Scream in silence, noone shall hear his cries encaged
The unroyal king, surrended 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 resto-
Re, 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 she crush the tanks of crystal glass
Cration
The crimson water gushed on to the ground in the unholy mace-
Their souls no longer cried
Die!
Their gift are denied.

She drinks the life-blood from the feebled man
Finally given the pleasure to die
Empty bodies, soul-drained by the vrigin queen
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
"Live my words, oh, sacred child You're soon to leave this
She heard her master call]
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're 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 higer 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 it's face of hate and disgrace leaving their saviour
Unpraised]

Now sharing this moment of grief
The ones who didn't follow
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 for this sacrifice
Nothing is gained from this great demise
After the ordeal we know she has the powers to decieve 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.

A leader was chosen to unveil the hidden truth
The brave ones were gathered, the strongest were sent to the
Queen
After many moons the troopsreach the temple of their majesty
Her reason to be must be known
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 rtied to find the answer but they were led astray into a
Maze of slumper far from the light of day
The riddle remained unanswered
The reason for her mission here
The queen could read ones mind, make sure that noone will find
The highness writhe in anger, her trust had been betrayed
The queen was filled with langour, her decision has been made
She would unleash her hate
Destined to devastate
She heard her demons roar, marching into war
The spirit of their beloved king ho spoke unto his men, he
Of great importance and trust
Came to bring a message
"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,
The loss of troops forced her powers to release the magic
To terminate this creature non-divine
Uncontrolled that had wasted a thousand soul
The palace controlled by demons is the heart of all evil pos-
Sessed by the queen and her unholy servants
"If we destroy it, the earth will be ours and it will bring us
Eternal existance
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'll capture her soul in the chambers of crimson sleep
And there she will suffer eternally for what she has done to
Man
Corridors
We fought our way into her dwelling-place, we searched the
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,
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
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.
