Crimson Ii: Aftermath Lyrics - Crimson Ii - Edge Of Sanity

And thus was read the incantation 

Voices echoed round and round 

The woman smiled in weak elation 

Mesmerized inside the sounds 

And with these chants of higher lore 

So mortal flesh began to fade 

Soon child and mother were no more 

Their earthly bodies now decayed 

Cast me to the crimson flames 

Thou shalt bar the doors of hell 

Incant these words of sacred rule 

Seal me in my crimson cell 

And still inside the chamber stands 

A single cell with crimson hue 

Resealed by spoken word of Man 

Imbued with power from spiritual Truth 

Two souls imprisoned for eternity 

Light and dark forever bound 

Two souls that never can be freed 

A pathway back will not be found 

For trapped beyond some foolish reach 

And far away from prying eyes 

No channel now to lead or preach 

No chance to influence or guide 

The final sacrifice she took 

Ensured the hope of the human race 

And thus she holds the sacred book 

A captive in her crimson space 

Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap 

For she must never waken from this Crimson Sleep
