Edge Of Sanity - Crimson
(Lyrics: Axelsson & Swano)(Music : Edge Of Sanity)
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 walkin 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.
(Vocals Mike:)
(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
(Harmony: Andreas) or the earth will die in solitude.
(Death-Cello Bizarre: Anders Mеreby)
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.
(Harmony: Andreas)
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.
(Vocals: Mike)
(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 suppress 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 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, 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 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 macecration.
Their souls no longer cried.
Die !
Their gift are denied.
(Vocals: Mike)
(She drinks the life-blood from the feebled man.
Empty bodies, soul-drained by the vrigin 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're dreaming and rise above this world of you and me."
(Vocals: Mike)
(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 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 decieve us all.
