In the darkness, the raven's head
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
There's only one way out of hereDaylight has come
The night has comeSee his twisted sons and daughters
Writhing slowly in Satan's mire
If you only could see the visions
The trembling world I now despiseAs the veil reveals the outer darkness
I am sucked into the walls of flameArise, awakeThe King in Crimson comesArise awakeThe King in Crimson, crimson comes
He knows the weakness that you can't fight
The stone of night that weighs you down
If only you could see the visions
His hand is death if you take it nowAs you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you nowArise, awakeThe King in Crimson comesArise, awakeThe King in Crimson comesArise, awakeThe King in Crimson comesArise, awakeThe King in Crimson, crimson comes
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you nowArise, awakeThe King in Crimson comesArise, awakeThe King in Crimson comesArise, awakeThe King in Crimson, crimson comesTo your window he comesAt your window I come
