CIRCUS MAXIMUS LYRICS

1. The Weight

Waves have washed me upon your shore
Smooth seas didn't make me a good sailor
I've been living with you
Within a dream that came alive
On the side

Caving in on myself
Venturing deeper within me
I've been eager to pull
To pull out the thorn in my side
To feel alive

Waiting for the call that breaks these walls
Painting these halls with the weight of it all

Be the one you want to know the most
I weigh me down just to pick me up
I'll show you me like you want me to be
The weight has made me blind

Leaving it all in open for all the world to see
I'm showing me hope to make me last
The dark haunts my presence and have erased my past
Still the melody in my heart chimed on...
Chimed on...Chimed on...
It chimed the right tone

I've been waiting for the call that'll break these walls
Painting these halls with the weight of it all

Be the one you want to know the most
I weigh me down just to pick me up
I'll show you me like you want me to be
The weight has made me blind
Oh, so blind
I'll show you me like you want me to be
Love has made me blind

2. Highest Bitter

Facing, I am fading
I've become the word transparent
Seize me as I'm wasting
Bitter tears in glorifying you
Feels like I am being devoured
Devoured by feeling blue

I build it up, you always tear it down
It seems like this is it when you're around
It's not that I don't wanna play the game
It's just that if I lose then you're to blame
You only aim for my weak mind
The one you know that you can buy
You make me sell myself to the
Highest bitter

Welcome to this exhibition
Where I am the main attraction
Come and see me in the pillory
Enjoy my misery
I know you've said it all before
When it was up to you
I didn't pull it through
I never cried out when you lied
I just smiled and slowly died

[2x]
I build it up, you always tear it down
It seems like this is it when you're around
It's not that I don't wanna play the game
It's just that if I lose then you're to blame
You only aim for my weak mind
The one you know that you can buy
You make me sell myself to the
Highest bitter

3. Havoc

This time I'll go too far
Go too long
Gonna set the bar
I'm out for blood
I wanna silence the peace
Cause I am havoc
Let me have my release

Come on!

Pick a fight
Swinging my right
Make a sucke
Bleed out
Knocked out lights
Out goodnight
Cause in the ring
I am the raging bull
Here's to me
Now go get your pull

I am the prosecutor
Judge
Executioner
The sound of the hammer
Just sealed your fate
Cause I'm the arsonist
Attend my wake
As the Salem Witches burn at the stake

You're gonna see me
You're gonna scream and
You're gonna feel my blade slide in your side
You're all beneath me
You won't defeat me
Cause I am here with havoc as my bride

Step right out folks!
Witness a real live circus freak reeking
Havoc in your neighbourhood
You better step out of his way
Or he'll beat you to the ground

This time I'll go too far
Go too long
Gonna set the bar
I'm out for blood
I wanna silence the peace
Cause I am havoc
Let me have my release

You're gonna see me
You're gonna scream and
You're gonna feel my blade slide in your side
You're all beneath me
You won't defeat me
Cause I am here with havoc as my bride

4. Pages

Imagine me as you
Be my eyes and ears
As you read on
Learn about my past, present and future
My flaws, my belief
My success and my love
Loss and all my hopes
My grief and my death

Suffering in silence
Just to be a part of life
Smiling at the crowd while singing
Words made up by lies
My childhood years came and went
I felt nothing to repent
Minutes felt like hours
And the hours seemed like

Days
Nights
All inside is lost in
A haze
Frights
Scared of turning another page

Saved memories
Read them to me and tell
Tell me my story
Some, some will hurt but I can't live without...
I strive to find and re-light the flame
Need to re-fuel and throw away the shame
Mind over matter
That's how it's played

Suffering in silence
Just to be a part of life
Smiling at the crowd while singing
Words made up by lies
My childhood years came and went
I felt nothing to repent
Minutes felt like hours
And the hours seemed like

Days
Nights
All inside is lost in
A haze
Frights
Scared of turning another page
Oh another page

5. Flames

There is no need to decide,
Light the fire let me die.
I feel no more agony,
It is just like it should be.

My burning fire, take me home
My one desire, feed me more
My only choir, in my dome
Let me rewire...

Shed my flesh inside the heat,
Keep on going till the last heart beats.
I'll open and I'll become,
The one thing you should stay away from.

My burning fire, take me home
My one desire, feed me more (and more)
My only choir, in my dome
Let me rewire...

I want to fade from a life that's never real,
All alone but I am with with her here,
I am the master of my final journey,
Hold onto your seat and feel,
And feel...

My burning fire, take me home
My one desire, feed me more (and more)
My only choir, in my dome
Let me rewire

Let me go...

6. Loved Ones

I was there for a moment, and now I am gone,
I was watching over you, and gave you all the clues.
So I can't give life to a withered rose,
Tears fill my eyes and all the rest I suppose.
I guess my life was stripped away from me,
And the vengeance will set me free.

Loved ones this is your song, I've owed it to you.
Now that I have found what I've been looking for,
This I can tell you.

You can't see through my transparent flesh,
Floating through time and space I am weightless.
I'm not at the place where you go when you die,
The place where everyone knows.
So I can't give life to withered rose,
Tears fill my eyes and all the rest I suppose.

Loved ones this is your song, I've owed it to you.
Now that I have found what I've been looking for,
This I can tell you.

So I gave new life to a withered rose,
Tears fill my eyes and all the rest I suppose.
I guess my love was ripped away from me.
Vengeance will set me free,
Vengeance will set me free...

7. After The Fire

Intentionally lost
Never to be found
Some time ago this flame
This flame was drowned
I wished last time
Would be the last
Leaving those moments far
Far in the past

Hiding from your eyes to see
Hoping you would not remember me
In a safe haven
I'll be free
I'll be free

This passage could only end in flames
With no room for reason
Just starting the game
With only one breath
Again so blind
This wave of emotions poisoned my mind

Give up this heart left shattered
Survivor alone you stand
With a last leap of faith
The flames will make their brand
One thing is certain
Everything will burn
Within the ruins of men
Save what you can

Hiding from your eyes to see
Hoping you would not remember me
In my haven I'll be free

And I'll never again re-light this spark
Never again serve as your mark
Never again stand in the mire
Never again be after the fire

Come near...
Appear...
Act out...
Don't shout...
I will not fear...
Head clear...
Fall out...
Just go about...

Closing in on me
I feel the heat rising here
Within the deep pitch black
Alone with the wolf pack
I hold up the spear
And I pierce through the fear
Push forward, hit full strength
I have the heart to go the full length

Come near...
Appear...
Act out...
Don't shout...
I will not fear...
Head clear...
Fall out...
Just go about...

And I'll never again re-light this spark
Never again serve as your mark
Never again stand in the mire
Never again be after the fire
And I'll never be after the fire
No I'll never be after the fire
I'll never be after the fire

8. Remember

Name the place so you'll remember
Just open your eyes and see
Then make believe what has been is the center
That ignites the light within you

The voice inside is your defender
Just speak the words and see
Then make them bleed right through and pierce your armor
Reveal the one within you

Make your way through the madness that is life
Embrace what you might find
If sadness clouds your mind
You will have the tools to use
You'll only have to choose

The voice inside is your defender
Just speak the words and see
Then make them bleed right through and pierce your armor
Reveal the one within you

Remember when it all caves in
The marks you bear that makes you win
In the dark you search within
Just remember when it comes to giving in
The battlefield is yours to win

Remember how, remember when we wore
The coat of arms that made us heroes of the day
Just render the memories again, my friend
You know it lies within, you know where to begin

Remember when it all caves in
The marks you bear that makes you win
In the dark you search within
Just remember when it comes to giving in
The battlefield is yours to win

9. Chivalry

Run away
Far away
From the past that's chasing you
Run away
Win the race
Let your will carry you home
And then you tumble along the way
It catches you up like you were prey
It shakes you up and make you regret

"I used to love you. I used to care. You loved me and trusted me, but I betrayed you. You were just standing there with tears in your eyes. I should have felt something, but I was just empty inside…

I know I should have helped you out of this puddle of mud, instead of pushing your head in face first."

You've, you've reached the borderline
You've, you've reached the borderline

It's getting closer
You can feel the heat
It's getting nearer
There's no defeat...
Dig a hole and hide
To the soil you may confide
Until it collapses and buries you alive
I guess you were unaware of it all

Ignorance blinded your actions
Where do you go when you've gone too far?
An act of chivalry
Disgracefully
Unfaithfully

Borderline
Borderline
Borderline
Borderline

10. Loath
