lyrics
Up above, superego fights the good fight
Beneath the righteous, is a room to rationalize
Deep, dark, hatred fueled desire
No laugh, no smile, bent on self-destruction
There's a frame that knows the answers
There's a fraction that just wants to cry
There's a split between honesty, deceit
And a layer scornful of life
Can one shun the monster when it's beautiful in side
Must one detest the saint when it speaks to its self lies
On the one hand poisons are the only relief
On the other hand power comes from love and belief
Aim for indepedence, fight to keep your keeper
Punish your self for your feelings, lose your mind
Self-describe in subtlety what you surmise to make you free
What you feel and what you know can be used to spit a flow
Of masquerades enveloping insecurities astonishing
One eye open, other bleeding, greed is what your hands are keeping
There's a slice, a philosopher
There's a division, a true sadist
There's a derivation claiming certainty
And a layer biting its fist
Beneath the righteous, is a room to rationalize
Deep, dark, hatred fueled desire
No laugh, no smile, bent on self-destruction
There's a frame that knows the answers
There's a fraction that just wants to cry
There's a split between honesty, deceit
And a layer scornful of life
Can one shun the monster when it's beautiful in side
Must one detest the saint when it speaks to its self lies
On the one hand poisons are the only relief
On the other hand power comes from love and belief
Aim for indepedence, fight to keep your keeper
Punish your self for your feelings, lose your mind
Self-describe in subtlety what you surmise to make you free
What you feel and what you know can be used to spit a flow
Of masquerades enveloping insecurities astonishing
One eye open, other bleeding, greed is what your hands are keeping
There's a slice, a philosopher
There's a division, a true sadist
There's a derivation claiming certainty
And a layer biting its fist

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.
