Circadian Rhythm (2007)

1. Symbols

[instrumental]

2. Falling

Feelings I hide from you
As I reach you my hand
The stain of guilt sticks in my head
This perception I cannot longer stand

Aware of all mistakes I made
Hoping for rainy clouds to fade
As I slowly die
Here inside my mind

I still see your dark reflection on the walls as winter falls
A glimpse of the moment, a touch in the dark
The warmth I still recall

From this day, I vow
Far too long I tried
Hoping for forgiveness of the heart
You’re waiting
She decided to come back, she decided to stay for a while
Hoping for the change that could never happen,
The change of the soul and the mind
Please return…

Feels like I’m falling away from you, this time…

And as I recall my downwards fall, it fills me with anger and hate
As I realise I lost you that time, and now it’s far too late

3. Point Of No Return

Anger, fear and sorrow
A new identity
So pain and tears will follow
Or stay in secrecy

“What should my final words be?
Is this my legacy?
All tales and stories untrue
Now it’s up to you…”

In silence I recall all the cruelties clearly,
when I repent on my knees
I’m trying to be nailed to a cross for my sins,
but no one ever believes

This day has turned into darkness for you / echoes through eternity
So try not to give in to the fear / look into eternity

Caught in self-build conservation
No mind and soul’s deliverance
My free will’s illumination
By mankind’s ignorance

Numb all feelings in me
Beyond life and death I see
Sleep tight… eyes wide open
No dream can comfort me

Here it comes… the shame again… ends in voices

4. Circadian Rhythm

My blood runs cold, my heart is silent
Rumours around me slowly fade
Clouds are forming and going away
Circadian rhythm won’t lead me today

Searching a way out of this nothingness
The ultimate ride to escape from reality
Senses are fading, emotionally numb
But no salvation until it is done

Standing on the edge I look back on my life
Fearing the moment that’s bound to arrive
How will I know what to do
How will I know what to say to you

When all is done
The ever-returning stench of existence
Smacks back in my face
The empty void that is mankind

Standing on the edge I look back on my life
Fearing the moment that’s bound to arrive
Not knowing how or where to go
Ignoring all thoughts emerging from the past

Never will I take part in this carnival of lunatics
Never will I recognise men’s fate
Only one thought that conquers the mind
The ultimate ride out of this misanthropy

My blood runs cold, my heart is silent
Rumours around me slowly fade
Clouds are forming and going away
Circadian Rhythm won’t lead me today
I will not break, I will survive
Crossing the bridge between nothing and life

Standing on the edge I look back on my life
Fearing the moment that’s bound to arrive
Not knowing how or where to go
Ignoring all thoughts emerging from the past

Never will I take part in this carnival of lunatics
Never will I recognise men’s fate
Only one thought that conquers the mind
The ultimate fight against misanthropy

5. Fading Dreams

Sitting here by your side in this old room
Thinking of the lives and time we left behind
As you promised me to stay here by my side
Little did I know how hard this ought to be

All those dreams fade away now

Now is the time to say goodbye
Will I ever see your sparkling eyes again
Now is the time to leave the past
Still I can’t believe the pain that’s striking me

Hold my hand,
Help me stand
Help me through this life

6. Switch To Red

How we spread fear and justify crime
Sustained ignorance is the way
Feed the rich and bury the poor
Know that to criticize is to betray

As a diabolic mastermind
Embrace our empire
Consolidate the power and
Steal for a noble cause
For this is my crusade
Oh Supreme me

Switch to red as you proceed
They’ll walk in line with faith
Remember you’re all freed
So battle must come, I dictate

Demonize and stigmatize
We hold the power, we hold the truth
And values we use wise
Since our goals are all in reach
Wealth is to be maintained
And determined we’ll succeed

Obscene display of power
Scatters in their eyes.
Burning flags and fists upraised
Defiance spreads and grows
Though, polished faith is what unites

7. Impending…

[instrumental]

8. …betrayal

As they command, they force you to obey
Sucking all strength that is left away
No power left to resist another day
Another victim of everyday’s routine

Well here I am, when someone calls my name
After all, I’ll do anything you say
Well here I am, though inside my pride remains
A small glimpse of light that’ll never fade

Unlock and release what’s left of courage inside
Tell them your thoughts, don’t hold back this time
Convince yourself, then fulfill your aim
Your righteous place that is yours to claim

Well here I am, when someone calls my name
After all, I’ll do anything you say
Well here I am, though inside my pride remains
A small glimpse of light that’ll never fade

And as I look back to all these oppressed years
I still feel the suffering and see their tears
An entire nation had lost their hope and pride
“Raise your fist there’s no more time to lose!”

Now is the time to leave our past behind,
We’ll stand up and fight for all that’s worth!
Fight !!!

Well here I am, when someone calls my name
‘Cause after all, I’ll do anything you say

In the slaughter that followed, many brave men died for the cause of justice,
against the oppressors that tyrannized the land
In the end neither side had won
Many lives were shed under a bloodred sun
And as the moon rose over thousands of corpses
It was said that this battle was lost even before it began.

9. Past Perfect

Life as I know it, wasn’t always this way
Once I found my second soul
On a august day you came

Dreams that I left behind
Thoughts that I decline
I finally found some piece of mind

You are my second soul / once I found my second soul
You are myself / once I found myself
