Lyrics
King In Crimson
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the darkness the ravens head
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
There's only one way out of here
Daylight has gone, the night has come
See his twisted sons and daughters
Wrighting slowly in Satan's mire
If you only could see the visions
The trembling world I now despise
As the veil reveals the outer darkness
I am sucked into the halls of flame
Arise, awake, the king in crimson comes
Arise, awake, the king in crimson, crimson comes
He knows the weakness that you can't fight
Stone of night that weighs you down
If you only could see the visions
His hand is death if you take it now
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now
Arise, awake, the king in crimson comes
Arise, awake, the king in crimson comes
Arise, awake, the king in crimson comes
Arise, awake, the king in crimson, crimson comes
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now
Arise, awake, the king in crimson comes
Arise, awake, the king in crimson comes
Arise, awake, the king in crimson comes
Arise, awake, the king in crimson, crimson comes
To your window I come
At your window I come
