lyrics
One winter day he came to me
And when he played I almost lost it
He came with no food, no weapons, just a
Silver saxophone across his back
His song restored our hearts once again
Took our minds off of the darkness
The horrors out side seemed to disappear
When he played for us that special tune
When the storm came he fought
Low on rations he starved
For the children he played
A magic tune
The saxophone man, he is gone now
But what he played went some thing like this
Through the dark
Showed no fear
Played away
All our fears
The mysterious saxophone player
Was a kind and gentle man
Though jealousy came from the others
He was accepted in the end
An honest man generous to all
But what I recall most was the tune
Now that there is light again
I wish for no thing more than to thank him
When the storm came he fought
More food for us he caught
For the children he played
A magic tune
The saxophone man, he is gone now
But what he played went some thing like this
Through the dark
Showed no fear
Played away
All our fears
And when he played I almost lost it
He came with no food, no weapons, just a
Silver saxophone across his back
His song restored our hearts once again
Took our minds off of the darkness
The horrors out side seemed to disappear
When he played for us that special tune
When the storm came he fought
Low on rations he starved
For the children he played
A magic tune
The saxophone man, he is gone now
But what he played went some thing like this
Through the dark
Showed no fear
Played away
All our fears
The mysterious saxophone player
Was a kind and gentle man
Though jealousy came from the others
He was accepted in the end
An honest man generous to all
But what I recall most was the tune
Now that there is light again
I wish for no thing more than to thank him
When the storm came he fought
More food for us he caught
For the children he played
A magic tune
The saxophone man, he is gone now
But what he played went some thing like this
Through the dark
Showed no fear
Played away
All our fears

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.
