Some people they are just passengers in life Wait their turn and never really do they take a chance They may plan but rarely ever do they do They have their use, propelling you and I Some people they are just passengers in life Wait their turn and never really do they take a chance They may be a frustration some moments but Competitors, we need our followers There are those who just don't seem to learn What good are the fools who deny science, logic Embarassing cogs in the great machine are just That, simple tools needed to keep all things moving, moving But do they keep our progress back Are they hurtful Are images lesser beings Than personalities What makes a thoughtful being What defines our powerful minds Some people they are just passengers in life Wait their turn and never really do they take a chance They may plan but rarely ever do they do They have their use, propelling you and I There are those who just can't seem to feel All the magesty in Universe, her beauty They take our products and give no thing back to us But denial on the whole is not an evil is it We must deny things to survive Are we evil May be they just live easier Lives than that of our kind What makes a thoughtful being What defines our powerful minds To each its own judgment call But there must be objective means All our lives We stand to justify our Strengths in line against these average minds All our lives We stand to justify our Strengths in line against these average minds Some people they are just passengers in life Wait their turn and never really do they take a chance They may plan but rarely ever do they do They have their use, propelling you and I Do we need to Empathize with them for Us or them if They're not worth our moments Some people they are just passengers in life Wait their turn and never really do they take a chance They may be a frustration some moments but Competitors, we need our followers

There you are And they are all here Invisible prism Locked you, dear They call for freedom You stand still We’d never free them As they have spirits to kill It pains me to watch and it pains me to see I’ll lock them up but I’ll set you free I’ve set you free but your eyes wish to stay Looking back to him in a tragic way Without hesitation I send him to you Of this faithful gesture You have no clue It pains me to watch and it pains me to see I’ll lock them up but I’ll set you free Push you away

[What a fancy, these absolutes Can you value that without reason If the feeling is arbitrary Can it really be for ever] Unconditional love is a farce with empty pockets In reality none love ah-all Love is earned when conditions are met and rules are followed And when below the threshold one falls... Love is cast away or new conditions are made, oh... Black, white, a trap closed round your mind Build the walls toward the sky Don't you know I'd sooner die Than see the world through jaded eyes Got to see if I can try To feel and know what is right [Some things can not be understood Without foundational knowledge What is love without respect What is honor to the beasts] Those that do not understand honor usually comprehend loyalty Can they be trusted But a bond without reason is meaningless and so those Who celebrate loyalty can't be trusted I stray from my way and new conditions are made, oh... Black, white, a trap closed round your mind Build the walls toward the sky Don't you know I'd sooner die Than see the world through jaded eyes Got to see if I can try To feel and know what is right I stray from my way and new conditions are made, oh... Love is cast away or new conditions are made, oh... Black, white, a trap closed round your mind Build the walls toward the sky Don't you know I'd sooner die Than see the world through jaded eyes Got to see if I can try To feel and know what is right

so much hate so much sorrow why must it be this way, if we'd just stop this madness but hey it's not gonna happen anytime today. I ruin lives I turn on mine there is so much I shouldn't have done, I guess there's no turning back but the past clouds the sun. Life's in ruins but you're hanging on, to what? something but it's nothing much. Hopes and dreams but nothing real, just hoping for something to feel. Pain is climbing higher over the rubble always, feeding on the fallen hopes dead dreams. Sorrow casting onto the future, from a past that can never come back. So there's no light no truth no happiness and the darkness is never fading, so it's a never ending life of death death's always raiding...life The turning points all lead to sadness eventually the forks to a dead end, you can keep going from there but they'll always come back my friend. Life's in ruins but you're hanging on, to what? something but it's nothing much. Hopes and dreams but nothing real, just hoping for something to feel. Pain is climbing higher over the rubble always, feeding on the fallen hopes dead dreams. Sorrow casting onto the future, from a past that can never come back. And why would you want it? all it does is hurt you, but oh you want it so because it's all you've got to turn to. Defending life from life and pain from more pain, it doesn't seem like there is anything to gain. BUT THERE IS IT'S THERE ALL WE MUST DO IS FIND IT, TO GET IT AND HOLD IT AND DEFEND IT! BUT UNTIL THEN, WE LOSE SIGHT OF IT ALL... MORE AND MORE! Life's in ruins but you're hanging on, to what? something but it's nothing much. Hopes and dreams but nothing real, just hoping for something to feel. Pain is climbing higher over the rubble always, feeding on the fallen hopes dead dreams. Sorrow casting onto the future, from a past that can never come back.

Life's a game To keep us entertained Get ready And play There are a few rules There are many levels But you can make your own Choose your own They change as you move And as time goes on And a few Stay the same But like I said Before You can Shift it ~Though creating your own rules Isn't so easily done And playing by them Isn't always fun And making your own game Is harder than it seems But oh how much better it is ~Than playing the drone in this one Life's a game To keep us entertained Straighten your aim And play Yes you can Also choose Who you are Who you want to be It's not as simple As whom you are It's what you do And how you play as well And will others join On your side Or will they Oppose you ~Will there be alliance Or just defiance Or dreadful reliance On the players by your side Will they betray you Or will they aid you Maybe there's no use in calling them ~For the chances they create Life's a game To keep us entertained Calm down And play Just have some fun Some happiness It's just A game You may win Or lose but play well Or fail At every attempt Like I said Before It is Difficult ~So then would it be all wasted Will this game come to be hated Wondering why someone won't change it You can But what are you to do With the circumstances in front of you To make it right or better ~Than what it is ~Though creating your own rules Isn't so easily done And playing by them Isn't always fun And making your own game Is harder than it seems But oh how much better it is ~Than playing the drone in this one Life's in flames On rough terrain Stop worrying And live Make some changes Make mistakes But always Try again ~If in the game you're playing The meaning is fading Then bend some rules and play A different game And if that one is useless Or is happiness-less It's time to bend some rules and play ~A new game

Do not self deceive with notions of beauty lost for beauty is inescapable. I want what I have lost, action enacts event I want what is gone from me, embrace simplicity Can't just this stay the same, reliance is worthless Oh why tarnish my name, symbols are not purpose If I must evolve to survive A beautiful tragedy is left behind If I must convert to be free What is left of me Kill and suffer all Idle, rotting hole Never fall in to Stale patterns, forge anew Fight the urge to dwell Might will serve you well Honor's all you need To complete the deed I am in love with a monster And the monster that I see is me I am in love with a monster Don't deceive, the monster is me What you value, is your fault What is petty, can be resolved In the forges, of change Turn, face the new Sacrifice your expectations of beauty to honor for there is no greater shining path. Do not self deceive with notions of beauty lost for beauty is inescapable. Do not fear change on principle of what you find pretty The pretty things are petty things. Do not self deceive with notions of beauty lost For novelty will revitalize.

Our star glows red, the trees tople, dead The air is growing thin Feel the ground quake, structures crack and shake Smell of decay on wind No use boarding up your doors to hide The storm will knock them down No use digging, caves colapse in side So run, it will chase you down Hear the wind call, call your name Whisper for your living flesh See the dust twist up in to claws Great fingers to snatch you up Where could it have come from What god could allow this No time to ask any of this Fool, strap your boots on, run Here comes the storm Like a whirlwind of darkness It rains travesty down upon us The shadows as a burning frozen fog Day falls to night And the wind, its howl can crack the bone But the evil's worst has yet to come Beware the core deceives, tempting calmness Can we survive, struggle, stay alive We see none have before Their screams reached us, they weren't quick enough What have these clouds in store Acid rain fall, shards of crystal too A haze that burns the eyes Inhale madness, terror born anew And he who slows down dies Hear the wind call, call your name Whisper for your living flesh See the dust twist up in to claws Great fingers to snatch you up Where could it have come from What god could allow this No time to ask any of this Fool, strap your boots on, run Here comes the storm Like a whirlwind of darkness It rains travesty down upon us The shadows as a burning frozen fog Day falls to night And the wind, its howl can crack the bone But the evil's worst has yet to come Beware the core deceives, tempting calmness

He wakes up an empty man in the morning And he builds a life ev ry day But it is often the absolute same man That leaves him empty and fake he wakes up a broken man in the morning He repairs a life ev ry day Through the same detrimental numbing habits That make him feel the same way It's a horrid, wretched, pitiful habit To repeat the oldest mistakes But we all define our selves through our habits Can we just throw us away Want to change but habits Are by definition Hard to cast away On repeat, life is but A flicker in existence Running out of time She sees a famil yer face in the mirror So she doubts what she has become But is there really a way to turn back now From these new habits she's won They were horrid, wretched, pitiful habits She repeats an other's mistakes But that is collateral of the changing If there's meaning in the way Want to change but habits Are by definition Hard to cast away On repeat, life is but A flicker in existence Running out of time Want to change but habits Are by definition- Don't say it again On repeat, break away Here comes the change, prepare We are losing time He hears the song He knows it's time Change with the melody She hears the notes Her ears perk up Her heart knows all the words He feels so alive Through new eyes He steps with great courage She feels right at home Through new eyes She steps, takes his hand and Completion is not necessary But they adore each other Through this they shall see proof of success Though time may keep them going They shall never forget what they shared And how it freed both of them From now on he'll wake up a whole man And she smiles in the mirror

Sorrow exists only in our minds Emptiness makes us easier to fill I admit that I see out of a narrow mind I feel I must destroy my enemy to see my Love stand by my side again Every one else has failed her in the past I wish to stand where they have fallen, to make this trust last I did not know then, but in side her mind She swore that she would never cry And nor will I As she stood and watched her brother die She swore that she would never cry 'There are lives more wretched than mine' And all ill things will pass in time All great things may come undone Enough loss can take down any one. But now she stands strong since she can not run She will not back down until the deed is done I do not care about what I have left to lose For emptiness makes us easier to fill I admit that I can not make the best end, but I must Destroy my worst enemy to save my best friend There are times when I wish to just give in And succumb to my enemy, just let that bitch win I have felt my worst, like I can not surivive She swore that she would never cry And nor will I As she stood and watched her brother die She swore that she would never cry 'There are lives more wretched than mine' And all ill things will pass in time All great things may come undone Enough loss can take down any one. But now she stands strong since she can not run She will not back down until the deed is done I felt less and paid with half of my mind We have both split and built the other kind There are lives more wretched than mine But I fear more ill things are growing inside This great world has come undone I carry the only key to save every one Now I will fight to the end, I will not run I will stand by her until our love has won I will try to find the strength inside my mind She swore that she would never cry And nor will I She stood and watched her brother die She swore that she would never cry 'There are lives more wretched than mine' And all ill things will pass in time All great things may come undone Enough loss can take down any one. But now she stands strong since she can not run She will not back down until the deed is done I felt less and paid with half of my mind We have both split and built the other kind There are lives more wretched than mine But I fear more ill things are growing inside This great world has come undone I carry the only key to save every one Now I will fight to the end, I will not run I will stand by her until our love has won I can sense the sadness in your eyes But, darling, this is not your kind of life

Why should I trust one more human Have I not learned, may be I will learn better this time This desire always gets in the way Of all other priorities Must I have love, else I'll go mad Is this a bad habit that I have fallen in to Either way love has broken me down I am afraid of you my dear Yet I wish I could promise... I will see you through all of the darkness to the Day beyond this world where we can be free Take my hand and I'll cast away the pain Smite those who misunderstand, hold you til the day I die Dear, I can't give you all of those things, I'm sorry Though my love is true, I am just a man For you I wish to sacrifice I don't want any one to have that kind of power Over me, over my state of mind But which pain is desired less Want to give you every thing How can I know there's any thing behind your smile It must mean some thing if you do not Make me happy out of your will I wish I could promise... I will see you through all of the darkness to the Day beyond this world where we can be free Take my hand and I'll cast away the pain Smite those who misunderstand, hold you til the day I die Dear, I can't give you all of those things, I'm sorry Though my love is true, I am just a man I feel all those things they've blamed on the heart It is raw, misunderstood, but a perfect place for us to start Do you mean to make me happy or is this just a dream I've concocted Could your eyes speak love to any one while your mind remains cold, I fear all this I... want to fight it I... want to throw away all this skepticism for you But you've got to do it too But you've got to do it too Feed the doubt, play it safe, you know it all too well What's it worth, a love that is practically doomed to fail After all trust is just a form of control Truth be told, we are fools for even stooping this low (No...) Just as how the unexamined life is not worth living So too it is true for the life that is not shared Where is the love in a world without forgiving Is hesitation proof of conflict or care Doubt is a sign of fear, why should true love be tamed Fear is response to danger, if our condition remains unchanged We have learned to distrust, now it's time to unlearn that tragedy It is you I choose I may not save you from the dark, my love But I will make light among the shadows I may not have strength to break these chains, love But here with me you can be you Come take my hand and I'll make you forget your pain Fend off the fools, hold you as long as I can

My insanity Is mocking me My deception Is my eyes I'm blinded by the Insecurity That is Me My terror Charges ten fold Every time I call love's name I grab at love And grip it But my grip's too hard And it strangles and chokes I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain I'm drowning in the fire of destruction of my life I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain But I won't give up so easily Burning cinder Fury of Crimson chaos Fire Is all that I see All I feel All right That's a lie MY LIFE ISN'T AS HARD AS I MAKE IT OUT TO BE But it is Just so hard … To me I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain I'm drowning in the fire of destruction of my life I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain But I won't give up so easily Is any of this Ever worth it Am I making Myself clear And if I am Does anyone listen And if they do Do they hear I am my fear As it jeers I am my fear As it cheers I feel humanity Is stalking me Laughing at My cries I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain And nothing else remains What does is really lost to me Should I just give up? NEVER NO NOT EVER FOR THEN THEY'LL HAVE WON MY PAIN AND FEARS AND AGONY The things that I shun Life drive sweet clarity undying purity There is no pit there is no pain I am free I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain I'm drowning in the fire of destruction of my life I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain But I won't give up so easily I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain I'm drowning in the fire of destruction of my life I'm falling into the pit of the void of my pain Giving up's an option I reject

Omisousius was too small for him, he yearned for some thing more It was as though he could see beyond Dor to all of Universe He was taught by an outcast of a Knight to find meaning deep in side And though Agnavas taught him well, he followed on a twisted ride To hesitate not, to discard old friends, cast aside family colors To adopt violence, take on black, silver, skeptic turned cynic to the very end Those not at his side were merely obstacles for him to conquer 'Hate is safe, search for knowledge is the one way to redeem my impurity' Obsessed, digression impossible, don't ask him to obey any thing else- Secto He declares, as was said once before 'Search for knowledge is the greatest good Oh, as such there is no lesser loss than sacrifice for all understood' He believes, as all philosophers That true wisdom is hardest to find So one must be truest to the self To lift dark from the edge of your mind Fight against all odds, is that not heroic, strive to be pure, reach for the truth Make sacrifice when, the greater good is at stake, is that not noble, of the few He called upon the outcasts, the broken, made his team of four It was as though he could hear the words of forgotten lore He had been loved by his enemies but never felt the shame Of betrayal, of broken promise, of renouncing his name He spent his life, a madness, dedicated to sifting through The Frame For answers to all questions, but those that would burden him with blame Wiyinndfor, the one who loved him, she was just his pawn Though his team would die for him, in his mind he was just one strong Vos Eroshim Valektyntez was never the name of a god To be the best is to beat the rest, so why should one empathize Those not at his side were merely obstacles for him to conquer 'Hate is safe, search for knowledge is the one way to redeem my impurity' Obsessed, digression impossible, don't ask him to obey any thing else- Secto He declares, as was said once before 'Search for knowledge is the greatest good Oh, as such there is no lesser loss than sacrifice for all understood' He believes, as all philosophers That true wisdom is hardest to find So one must be truest to the self To lift dark from the edge of your mind And true wisdom is his to find Before all others of his kind The gods are dreadful, uninclined To lift dark from the edge of their minds Fight against all odds, is that not heroic, strive to be pure, reach for the truth Make sacrifice when, the greater good is at stake, is that not noble, of the few Curse the edge of mind again Sloppy is the frame Press the edge of all moments Curse the edge of mind again There is just no time Press the edge of all moments He declares, as was said once before 'Search for knowledge is the greatest good Oh, as such there is no lesser loss than sacrifice for all understood' He believes, as all philosophers That true wisdom is hardest to find So one must be truest to the self To lift dark from the edge of your mind Curse the edge of mind again Sloppy is the frame Press the edge of all moments Curse the edge of mind again There is just no time Press the edge of all moments He declares, as was said once before 'Search for knowledge is the greatest good Oh, as such there is no lesser loss than sacrifice for all understood' He believes, as all philosophers That true wisdom is hardest to find So one must be truest to the self To lift dark from the edge of your mind And true wisdom is his to find Before all others of his kind The gods are dreadful, uninclined To lift dark from the edge of their minds And true wisdom is his to find Before all others of his kind He will be the god in due time

Album two: www.createspace.com/2168095

Purchase of complete digital album on Bandcamp includes instrumental versions of Red Ankh songs that otherwise contain lyrics.

Unofficially released in 2008 and remastered for release in 2013, this is an industrial metal double album by Red Ankh that features many interluding industrial tracks by alternate alias Shyft. Mostly future pop, Shyft also features a bit of darkwave and electro industrial on this album. Like on the first Blue, the metal tracks on this album were originally instrumental pieces that have been reworked with new vocals.

Lyrics tell a few stories from Shyft's dreams and writings and express internal conflict from his teenage years, but mostly deal with ethics and the paradox of understanding others.
