Circus Maximus - The 1st Chapter lyrics



Tracks



01. Sin

All my life I have been a drifter
Going down the paths that had no ending
With Satan on my shoulder, I was an angel of the underground
Nothing could ever stop me

You're losing all, losing all of control
In the end you will fall
Losing all, you're losing all
Your soul... will it ever be whole?

I am terrified
In the dark there's no light
She's at the end of the line but she wants to live (to live)
He tastes the fear in her eyes
At the end of this night she will be... gone

What you have taken away from me
Can never come back, I cry, all night
The memories I've been given, while the future you have taken
You left me but a picture in a frame (nothing will ever be the same)

Listen son, I'm the one, can't you see...
I was here all along
The choice you made can't be undone
Now the price you will pay

You'll be electrified
It's the end of your life
Cause tonight the stars will shine, but not for you (feel it)
Feel the power of light
You're at the end of the road

You're in my world now, my soul to keep
Eternity is a long way to go
In my world now, your soul is mine
You see there's no way out
For eternity
This is where you will be, "Please let me out of here!"
For eternity
I will keep you down here, "Is there no way out?"
"I can't get out, out of here! Is there anybody listening? To me..."
You can't get out, out of here
"I all alone in the dark..."
It's the end of the line, where you'll be...

02. Alive

I remember you told me once
What could be the answer to it all
The answer to my soul
I believed in love not magic,
need some time to figure out what to do with this
with my heart, that is
(I was so alone)

Why can't you see that I need some time alone?
Every moment my heart beats, I remember how it used to be.

Can you forgive how I used to be?
In a lull the stars remain through lonely nights.
(They keep shining)

I believed in love in the midnight sun we roll
Even if the stars remain unknown
That this won't last forever
(This won't last forever)

We will make it through the night.

[Chorus:]
When you feel alive, when there's nothing you can do.
When you can explain, "Is there a reason why I'm living?"
When you feel alive, when there's nothing you can do.
Now I'll keep on searching for the path that lies ahead, ahead.
Is the longest way to go...

I can see the sunshine up above
I can see the rainbow down below
Into the fire we burn.
I see it.
I can't deny it, feelings I have deep inside for you!

When you feel alive, when there's nothing you can do.
When you can explain, "Is there a reason why I'm living?"
When you feel alive, when there's nothing you can do,
We will struggle towards this together:
Together we will make it through alive...

03. Glory Of The Empire

The men stood tall on the battleground
With pride in their eyes
And with faith to guide them
Blood was spilled over the fields
They won, but for what cause?
What we do echoes in eternity

Now as brothers they unite
And as enemies they shall apart
For the glory of the Empire
Now I've been betrayed
But there is no one here to tell
I must walk towards the deadline
I must walk it alone... all alone

On my quest for a new horizon
I've been waiting for so long
In the time of a desperate fighter

Free me from the spell that I'm in
Through these eyes I have seen
With my soul I have been drowning
This journey must end
I must enter the scene once again

My name has been taken
My soul has been torn apart
What I have lived for has now been taken away from me
Sold for a penny, I was marked as gold
The arena opens up
...the salute of a thousand souls
I must struggle to win the crowd

Now the time has come
Will I win or fall?
Victory is on my mind
Could it ever be what I have found?
Now the gates are open wide
I must enter the arena
It will bring me one step closer to my revenge

On the quest for a new horizon
I've been waiting for so long
In the time of a desperate fighter

Free me from the spell that I'm in
Through these eyes I have seen
With my soul I have been drowning
This journey must end

I gazed into the night
...where you and I once used to watch the sun set,
And the moon rise
Now as the time pass by, when I can not breath at all
When you reach out your hand

Betray whispers in the wind
An era that never ends
My soul is in blister, but I feel no pain
I can now see what was taken away from me
Through the gates I walk, but I am not alone
I am One, now finally... finally I'm free

On my quest for a new horizon
I've been waiting for so long
In a time of a desperate fighter

Free me from the spell that I'm in
Through these eyes I have seen
With my soul I have been drowning
This journey must end
I have entered the scene again

For the glory of the Empire
That's been built by the hands of slaves
For the glory of the Empire
That's been built by the hands of slaves
To fulfill the master's will

04. Biosfear

[Instrumental]

05. Silence From Angels Above

I'm staring out the window
It's raining outside
The fall has caught up with me
I feel that I can't breath
I wish I couldn't see
I lived my life through someone else

Long ago I made a choice
That I thought would make a difference
And lead me back on track

Silence from angels above
Leaving us behind in a time when we are in need
Of someone to hold close to your heart
I am just another leaf falling down on the ground

I'm standing at a crossroad
I don't know what to do
I will not live to see another day
The time has come to face the end
This is a necessary thing
Cause I will hold your hand an say
Will you forgive me

Long ago I made a choice
That I thought would make a difference
And lead me back on track

06. Why Am I Here

Falling through the oceans of life... I sense the sorrow
I picture the pain from the stream of life that I'm in
Feel the fire burning through the sphere tonight
What is this thing that I see?
Someone wake me up from this nightmare!

If I only could get through the night
It would be a revelation
The understanding of nothing... seems so far away

Why am I here... down on this lonely road?
I can feel there's no on here
I'm slowly fading into nothingness
Why am I here... down on this lonely road?
I try to speak, but I can't find the words to say

It was only a dream. His body senses relief
He washes of the night from his face
Followed by a look in the mirror
Something doesn't feel right here
Who is this man I see?
Somehow he can't recognize himself

Why am I here... down on this lonely road?
I can feel there's no one here
I'm slowly fading into nothingness
Why am I here... down on this lonely road?
I try to speak, but I can't find the words to say
(the word to say... oh no)

Like a child he is scared by the absence of light
Abducted by himself. Crippled by the mind
The will must contrive the mind

Why am I here... down on this lonely road?
I carry on...
Why am I here... down on this lonely road?
Down on this lonely road
I can feel there's no one here
I'm slowly fading into nothingness
Into nothingness I fade
Stop locking me in!
Why can't I get out of here?
I've been lost in the long forever
Lurking alone again

07. The Prophecy

When there's no love nor hate in this world
When we reach out our hand to someone
...but that someone is not there
I'm all alone in this forsaken world where time stands
...ooh so still
I remember but now it's time for peace

The world ain't no longer
Hello? Can anybody hear me?
It's in the hands of faith

You keep on walking that same dark road
Where there's no end to see
In these ruins you stand all alone
...while you dream about yesterday

There's no turning back once the tides have changed (tides have changed)
The world ain't no longer
It's in the hands of faith

I woke up in the middle of the night
Outside the rain was covered in red
Thunder and lightning covers the sky
I'm all alone in this forsaken place
What have I done to deserve a life like this
Am I the key? Have I unlocked the mystery to life?

Innocence is the secret to reveal the prophecy
A new beginning predicted by the pages in the sand
Innocence is the secret to reveal the prophecy
The soul survivor stands alone to end this misery

08. The 1st Chapter

The journey begins beyond the mountains far away
Where the sun always shine and the rainbow begins... the Grand Utopia
A young man in his pride
...his restless heart and soul leaving his loved ones behind
To explore the great unknown alone... all by himself

Mother... always watching over me
Now she must let me go

He feels the absence of well-being as he leaves his roots behind
Wandering night an day without any rest
Voices from inside that I can not understand
Calling me to go somewhere
The road he once knew change before his weary eyes
Sunlight is gone... now the darkness prevails

Suddenly the ground begins to shake
Tremble... now it's too late

Step into our endless darkness
You are now our soul to keep
Ooh no I'm falling into the burning skies

I thought it was over now, bur the chapter of my life has just begun
Resurrected to complete the task that's been brought on to me
I can now see the gates that bring me to eternity
I'm on my own now... here

I wandered through the sands for quite some time now... for days
Where I'm going, I don't know?
It's hard to breathe
The heat burns my skin
It feels like someone's watching over me
My faith is in their hands
Voices surround me... they show me the way

I've reached the point of no return
And the path that lies behind me I will never see again
From the day that I left home I had one thing on my mind
To find the hidden answer in the sand

Feels like someone's watching over me
My faith is in their hands
Voices surround me... they show me the way

A beast stands before me with a face of a fowl demon
If this challenge is won maybe my faith is sealed
The fight lasts for days
Evil will embrace the one who enters the gate
Judged to live in pain and forever suffer
...for eternity

Left the region of heavens to the underworld
...the bringer of life
Down in the shadows the secret it lies within
Deep in the oceans of sand

The beast lies before me
I have won, I've defeated the demon
The path before me it will now reveal the answer in the sand

Faith
...though my faith failed long ago I must still carry on
The secret lies right in front of me, and before my eyes
...the book that brought me to hell

Left the region of heavens to the underworld
...the bringer of life
Down in the shadows the secret it lies within
Deep in the oceans of sand

The journey ends back to paradise
Beyond the mountains far away
I've returned to where the sun always shine
...to my Grand Utopia

10. Imperial Destruction

Times of woe
Uncertain future
Related talks
Events by past
Love to hate
Hate to love
Be a prey
Hunt or stay

False prophets ignored in ridicule
Treason by demons, we will fall
Skeptic minds will turn the tide
To imperial destruction

Don't let depression take control
Unmask your truly self
Ignore the rights and all the wrongs
embrace the light

In the heat of the night
you feel the walls cave in on you
Can you feel what I do
You can open the door
but you can not read what is on my mind
Just open your eyes and see the light

The sun appears
On the rise again
To overcome what has never been
You can feel you're on the edge
You can stop yourself, your fall
Why is there nobody to call?
I can see it through the open line
I can see it to the end this time
You know
It is all in my favor
Reach inside your crystal ball
Open your mind and then you fall

Don't let depression take control
Unmask your truly self
Ignore the rights and all the wrongs
Embrace the light

In the heat of the night
You feel the walls cave in on you
Can you feel what I do
You can open the door
But you can not read what is on my mind
Just open your eyes and see the light

Don't let depression take control
Unmask your truly self
Ignore the rights and all the wrongs
Embrace the light

In the heat of the night
You feel the walls cave in on you
Can you feel what I do
You can open the door
But you can not read what is on my mind
Can you feel, what I do
Can you turn your life around
Can you feel what I do
You can open the door
But you can not read what is on my mind
Just open your eyes and see the light
