Edge of Sanity
1996 - Crimson

Prologue:
  In a very distant future, the last generation of planet earth [bad word] 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 of life-divine or...

Crimson (Song)

Another sky is young...

Another frozen future has passed.
Another breed, another cast.
The river [bad word]  brought to life by the sun,
 the circle is still unbroken.

...

Oh, what a sight to see.
Reborn life,
 destined for all of 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.
glimpse of hope
 grows inside,
  a change of tide.
Answered prayers of survival.

Miracles.
The offpring of unknown gods
 beautifies
  the aura of dying breed.
So they succeed
 in their quest for continued time.
Celebrate.
The knowledge of the everlasting, never-dying.

...

Cursed to be walking in shadows of death
 for a lifetime
No more fears
 for what the years will bring.
Rebuild the shattered dream.
And now a brighter future [bad word] 
 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 [bad word] 
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 she 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 [bad word] these desert lands.

[Vocals Mike]:
[sacrifice.
life arises,
 when one love [bad word] 
  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 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 [bad word] 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 hands of the shrewd
...or the earth will die in solitude.

[Harmony: Andreas]

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 the women gave birth to man.
Raped by the wind
 and forced to bring life
  to the hundred [bad word] sons.
The unholy ones will give
 strength for all evil to live
  and the fires of death burn high.
The time [bad word] 
 for the king to die.

[Lead Guitar: Mike]

whole world is a mourning
 the loss of their king.
In sorrow a new day dawning.
Now the princess it their everything.
procession to the chambers
 where they kiss their father's ring.
Can you hear the angel
 of sadness sing...
  With broken wings.

[Harmony: Andreas]

And with death came to disorder,
 who were they now obey?
No leaders,
 no followers.
No [bad word] 
 no faith.
The princess is too young to tame a land,
 a new king must be chosen.
In search of such a man of [bad word] 
 there will be contradictions.
 [bad word] forth on desert ground,
 the incarnation of a king sleep profound
