Testo di 'Crimson' di Edge Of Sanity

In a very distant future, the last generation of planet earth has come to a point where they cannot bred 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 godsent child, a gift from the skies of life divine
Now we know
A glimpse of hope grow 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
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

[14:22]
War! ...Messengers of hell. They fought for what would be a blood-stained crown
Utter chaos supreme
The sand absorbs the colour 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

[16:55]
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 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, no one 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 she crush the tanks of crystal glass
The crimson water gushed on to the ground in the unholy massacration
Their souls no longer cried
Die!
Their gifts are denied

[21:11]
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 the 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."

[25:55]
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 saviour 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 for 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 slumper (maybe slumber?) far from the light of day
The riddle remained unanswered
The queen could read ones mind, make sure that no one will find the reason for her mission here
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

[32:38]
"The spirit of their beloved king ho 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 into 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 soul
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

[35:31]
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
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, 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
The uncovered arise and the crimson waters impaired all life's demise
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
