They gather round the natal bed, the foolish and the wise
They fear the child yet to be born, whose voice shall rend the skies
The faithful watch the forest for the coming of the king
Their lanterns bright, they wait at night, for the new world he shall bring
Their lanterns bright, they wait at night… (he’s coming soon)
for the new world he shall bring
Seven seals, seven rings
Seven brides, for the Scarlet King
They’ll give birth to the wicked heir
Fear the true fallen prince
The hens were in the henhouse, and seven eggs did lay
'till fox crept in by dark of night and stole the eggs away
Six broken by their bindings, six no more shall sing
The seventh fully unwinding, and all the birds did sing
The seventh fully unwinding… (he’s coming through)
and all the bells will ring
Seven seals, seven rings
Seven chains through the marble sphere
May the world shake below his feet
when he wakes up from his sleep
When the first had given birth, then all the birds did sing
Her screaming cries did shake the skies, as she called out for her king
By doctor's blade the second bade a life into the world
His bride the third remained unheard, her cries for help ignored
The fourth prepares a dagger and points it at her heart
The fifth one's crown was bearing down, apocalypse begets
On the sixth's day, walls gave way and the oceans turned to ash
her birth gave work, as the earth shook, underneath the king's fell lash
The seventh bride will break the tides, the moon no more will shine
There comes a day not far away… she'll birth the death of time
Hail the king, hail the king, hail the Scarlet King
