lyrics
Do not hate your creator
For that gives it power over you
Only take blame for your actions
The choice of a monster is still a choice true
Habits of poison make a poison of you
When you indulge to hide, to punish
Why make a warzone of a bloody, singular feud
I've seen you before
Make excuse for your self at the mark of emotion
What you feel is you
There are not these personalities you claim split you in two
Own your feelings
They disgrace you and augment your thoughts because they are you too
Own your feelings
If they are an embarassment, you embarass your self
What was before, what will become
What does it mean to break cycle
Don't insult me, don't insult humanity
If any one has reason, there's purpose in you
Identify your faults, claim your reactions
Don't scorn your self for trying
Do not hate your creator
Rise, rise above the pain and guilt and shame
Recreate your self, own your self or else
Toxic you will for ever be, lost
Do not hate your own beauty
Cut, burn the faithless savagery from you
Let go of your identity to choose
Pull the good and push away the ill
Let your pain go, let your pain go
It is you until you let go
Don't insult me, don't insult humanity
If any one has reason, there's purpose in you
What else is there, there is no choice
The more you suffer, the greater your peace
Do not hate your creator
Rise, rise above the pain and guilt and shame
Recreate your self, own your self or else
Toxic you will for ever be, lost
Do not hate your own beauty
Cut, burn the faithless savagery from you
Let go of your identity to choose
Pull the good and push away the ill
You don't love, you are poison
Find your joy within you
No one wants to share your pain
Heal your self from within you
It's not enough to trust logic
For emotion can twist it too
Empathize with what you want to be
Powerful people, put you in to their shoes
Habits of poison make a poison of you
When you indulge to hide, to punish
Why make a warzone of a bloody, singular feud
You are already suffering
Why add insult to injury
Why wrack your body for what you have done
Why hide the answers you know
Do not dwell on how you suffer
Do dwell on your hopes, your dreams
Do not dwell on how to hurt less
Do dwell on how to laugh more
Oh, the beauty you're capable of
Do not hate your creator
Rise, rise above the pain and guilt and shame
Recreate your self, own your self or else
Toxic you will for ever be, lost
Do not hate your own beauty
Cut, burn the faithless savagery from you
Let go of your identity to choose
Pull the good and push away the ill
You don't love, you are poison
Find your joy within you
No one wants to share your pain
Heal your self from within you
Pain is not important
For that gives it power over you
Only take blame for your actions
The choice of a monster is still a choice true
Habits of poison make a poison of you
When you indulge to hide, to punish
Why make a warzone of a bloody, singular feud

Make excuse for your self at the mark of emotion
What you feel is you
There are not these personalities you claim split you in two

Don't insult me, don't insult humanity

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.
