about

An exclusive version of rock band Emissary's track Ankh.

lyrics

But already punished by the flood
Our teachers lie broken down,
Where you choked them
With their crowns...

Now,
Now I see,
One man broken;
One man breaking-
...And the broken redeemed,
And the breaker fading

The breaker fading
Fading
Fading out

Once again I stand by
(Once again I stand by)
As my memories,
(as memories flock)
They flock like prayers of incidence against the cold,
(to prayers of incidence)
Like ashes to succumb to the rising sea
I stand by
(like ashes)
As my memories,
(against cold)
They flock like prayers of incidence against the cold,
Like ashes to succumb to the rising sea
(Like ashes to succumb to the rising sea)
Oh, my own memories,
(like ashes)
They flock like prayers of incidence against the cold,
Like ashes to succumb to the rising sea
(to succumb to the rising sea)

If all is one and one is all
(And one is all)
If I am you and you are me
(If you are me)
Then I can find some solace
In happy memory
Memory
