lyrics
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.
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.

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.
