Edge Of Sanity Covenant Of Souls Lyrics

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 never 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 d___ing 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.

She crawled across,
The bloodstained ground,
Her eyes averted from the steely glare,
But secretly she knew she'd found,
A way beyond this nightmare,
Beyond this nightmare.
