Crimson Blade Lyrics


Hidden for a thousand years a blade within a stone awaits the Saviour

Longing for a noble hand that would proclaim a time of liberation

For a country mesmerized under a spell of lies and self-deception

A new light restores to life a people's souls 'n hearts, and their behavior

Shreds of a whole, shreds of a life

Fragments of broken souls reconstitute themselves

A Crimson Blade from ancient times

Mends back the dream of a collective unity

Once again, yet again, we are both many and one

Once again, yet again we see our goal with many eyes

And as one, we move on to choose the path of our new life

Like a blade that cuts the ropes that held our wings

First they told us what to need then what we had to do to get our payout

Artificial needs to fully keep under control imagination

Bread and circuses of lies created static rails for us to move on

Prefab trains of thought along a laid down path concealed the way to get out

Shreds of a life, shreds of a whole

Fragments of broken souls reconstitute themselves

A broken blade from ancient times

Brings back the dream of a collective unity

Once again, yet again, we are both many and one

Once again, yet again we see our goal with many eyes

And as one, we move on to choose the path of our new life

Like a blade that cuts the ropes that held our wings

Told us what we had to do

What to think what to believe

Told us what we had to think

What was good and what was right

What to mind what to forget

What to be how to behave

How to lead a normal life

How to lead -- a normal death

Then, a new light emerges

From an ancient blade

Buried in our souls

No Saviour but ourselves

Wielding crimson blades

Springing from our souls

Once again, yet again, we are both many and one

Once again, yet again we see our goals with many eyes

And as one, we move on to choose the paths of our new lives

With a blade that with its crimson light

gives us back our true birthright:

cuts the ropes that jailed our minds and wings!
