lyrics
They speak of a burning passion
But not how it burns out
When the fire isn't fed
The hearth, it can grow quite cold
Pass the time, calm your mind
Escape from life, your hobby
Feel the need, question: greed
Postpone is strife, your passion
One is love, one is justice
One is purpose, your reason
Do the deed to feel freed
To the knife, the fashion
Frustrate, dominate, failure
To make us feel fulfilled
Wrong choice, or clash of wills, within
Short term, long term, impulses
There is always a way
To balance our drives
Jaded to love, hardened from dishonor
Yet purpose must still be fulfilled
To love one, inspire
Love another, sacrifice
Suffer not for your love
And she, your muse, thrive purpose
To feel shame, of your purpose
Be manipulated
How can one be that one
When love stands in the way
Struggle to give cause
What are we without love
No, what are we without purpose
Amplify to drown it out
A will weakened from the fall
A purpose stands quite confused
See your passion burned
They may love you
They may die
They may feed your cause
Don't feed it to them
To share your life with one
Can be beautiful
To share a purpose too
Then it's not yours, your own, own
When you know what is this 'we'
You may not know your own self
When you know 'we fulfilled'
You may not be fulfilled
Amplify to drown it out
A will weakened from the fall
A purpose stands quite confused
See your passion burned
Amplify to drown it out
A will weakened from the fall
A purpose stands quite confused
See your passion burned
They may love you
They may die
They may feed your cause
Don't feed it to them
But not how it burns out
When the fire isn't fed
The hearth, it can grow quite cold
Pass the time, calm your mind
Escape from life, your hobby
Feel the need, question: greed
Postpone is strife, your passion
One is love, one is justice
One is purpose, your reason
Do the deed to feel freed
To the knife, the fashion
Frustrate, dominate, failure
To make us feel fulfilled
Wrong choice, or clash of wills, within
Short term, long term, impulses
There is always a way
To balance our drives
Jaded to love, hardened from dishonor
Yet purpose must still be fulfilled
To love one, inspire
Love another, sacrifice
Suffer not for your love
And she, your muse, thrive purpose
To feel shame, of your purpose
Be manipulated
How can one be that one
When love stands in the way
Struggle to give cause
What are we without love
No, what are we without purpose
Amplify to drown it out
A will weakened from the fall
A purpose stands quite confused
See your passion burned
They may love you
They may die
They may feed your cause
Don't feed it to them
To share your life with one
Can be beautiful
To share a purpose too
Then it's not yours, your own, own
When you know what is this 'we'
You may not know your own self
When you know 'we fulfilled'
You may not be fulfilled
Amplify to drown it out
A will weakened from the fall
A purpose stands quite confused
See your passion burned
Amplify to drown it out
A will weakened from the fall
A purpose stands quite confused
See your passion burned
They may love you
They may die
They may feed your cause
Don't feed it to them

about
Red Ankh
Red Ankh is highly experimental, including (but not in every song) elements of black metal, chiptune, dance, death metal,
folk, gabber, gothic, industrial, power metal, progressive, symphonic metal, groove metal, and trance.
Early works were mostly instrumental. That changed with Bronze. The goal of the project is to break down genre boundaries, keep music inventive, and inspire.
