lyrics
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Zarkerovense
No more need for the light, condemn
Bend it around me
Oh, Gone are the moments of fear
Zarkerovense
Let us bow to The Darkness, dear
Let it become me
I now breath smoke and ash
My skin is scales of black
My eyes but burn ing holes
My mind's rage comes
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Zarkerovense
No more need for the light, condemn
Bend it around me
Oh, Gone are the moments of fear
Zarkerovense
Let us bow to The Darkness, dear
Let it become me
My hands but jagged claws
Cracked razors fill this maw
My embrace lacerates
My kiss tears flesh away
Once I was a kind one
I was one loved
I knew not loss or death
I was naive
Surrounded by great light
As was granted
I knew not fear of dark
I was blessed
Then came the dark master
It spun its web
Around my feeble mind
Tortured my head
I fought it no one knew
Bleeding in side
Now I am comforted
Now I am free
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Zarkerovense
No more need for the light, condemn
Bend it around me
Oh, Gone are the moments of fear
Zarkerovense
Let us bow to The Darkness, dear
Let it become me
I now breath smoke and ash
My skin is scales of black
My eyes but burn ing holes
My mind's rage comes
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Zarkerovense
No more need for the light, condemn
Bend it around me
Oh, Gone are the moments of fear
Zarkerovense
Let us bow to The Darkness, dear
Let it become me
My hands but jagged claws
Cracked razors fill this maw
My embrace lacerates
My kiss tears flesh away
I am The Dark
My loved ones run from me
I am their dread
But I'm free but I'm free
The cost of fear
I will kill for the Dark
So I can be
Behind its thirsty gaze
Not underneath
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Lead me in to the dark
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Zarkerovense
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Zarkerovense
No more need for the light, condemn
Bend it around me
Oh, Gone are the moments of fear
Zarkerovense
Let us bow to The Darkness, dear
Let it become me
I now breath smoke and ash
My skin is scales of black
My eyes but burn ing holes
My mind's rage comes
Lead me in to the dark my friend
Zarkerovense
No more need for the light, condemn
Bend it around me
Oh, Gone are the moments of fear

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.
