Crimson II: Covenant of Souls
Edge Of Sanity

One quiet night the lady traveled out beyond the monastery

Her quest was one of urgency and human preservation

She traveled with companions to reach the ruined city

Where lay the means to save her kind, a path to their salvation

When there they searched for evidence of where the Queen once slept

And came upon a gateway, which was tightly closed and barred

A stark inscription warned them of the risk of their next step

But choices were no more; they had already come too far

Let no man breach the gate to this most blasphemous of halls

Lest bitterness and chaos be the harvest they wouldst reap

He must n'er become a slave to this Child's beck and call

For she must never waken from her Crimson Sleep:

With fresh resolve the women carried on towards their goal

And found themselves a cell where crimson shade were scattered

A sight so dreadful it chilled their very souls

The cell had long been drained and all around the glass lay shattered

A movement in the shadows

A flash of blazing light

The child stood before them

With murder in her eyes

The women ran towards her

To try to stem the tide

Of purse and crimson anger

There was nowhere left to hide

Too slow was their reaction

They were thrown back off their feet

Their throats were filled with panic

As they stared as harsh defeat

Too weak was their protection

They couldn't staunch the trail

Of vitriol and vengeance

Meted out for this betrayal

So the mother's brave compatriots

Consumed with damning pain

Died writhing in the dirt

They were bleeding and insane

They'd looked into the child's eyes

And crumbled in despair

From images too hideous

For human minds to bear

Salvation lies in banishing

This creature to the dark

Let not your hand be hesitant

Or death will be your mark

But there was still one single hope

No room for fear or doubt

The mother knew there was no choice

She had to end this now
