She slays the false King easily and begins ruling Earth. She accepts an unholy Master and gains mighty magical powers. As she is left alone to plan, the forces of evil beckon to her. Eventually they persuade the Child to lead a coup. The new King crushes rebellions against his illegitimate rule and is generally hated by the populace. In time, the King dies and men fight over his throne. The people think the child is a sign that God will give them back the ability to reproduce, but the child grows into a teenager and humanity remains infertile. The Queen dies during childbirth, and the King is left to rule the Earth and raise his daughter on his own. Into this time of despair a child is born to the King and Queen of the barren Earth. The album's single song tells the story of a world where humans no longer can beget children. Both albums were remixed and slightly edited for release on the 2006 compilation When All is Said. A sequel, Crimson II, was released in 2003 and picks up directly where the first album left off.
The album, which features Opeth frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt, received substantial critical acclaim, and is considered by most fans to be Edge of Sanity's finest achievement. It features a single 40-minute track, telling a story in the distant future, when human civilization is about to end.
