Of Awakening 06:10
Breathing in the world of the lies I’ve sinned in the midst of my highs Foreseeing nothing but a miracle to emanate Faint touch of reality Concluding my very fate The anchored vision after all Declaring a certain fall The unchallenged conqueror Kneeling to face the abyss Leading my ignorant mind To a deceptive curse outlined Chaining the mere thought that resonates Doomed by the circle of life I’ve shined through the edge of the skies Farseeing nothing but a perfect selfish trait Vague touch of delusion Concluding my very fate The untamed desires at call Clenching thrust of it all The malignant manifest Craving to cause an affect The anchored vision after all Declaring a certain fall The unchallenged conqueror Kneeling to face the abyss Screams, yes I can hear Pain, yes I can feel Carnage, yes I can breathe What I have done, yes I can see Blindly I have followed me Swiftly my urges swallowed me Failures that have vanquished me Now I, know what I will be Rays of, awareness Breaching my walls Uneven structures All the arid trails Realization A longing for change

Embrace, a new era has begun Projecting a definitive alacrity Brace the new waves arising The blackened sun is calming down Throne No longer feeds me Greed No longer intrigues me Storm No longer needs me Drowned my deeds, so I can breathe The invincible philosophy Is crashing onto me The magnitude is surreal Clearing my false pretence Tracing the spirit long forgotten Acknowledging the path untrodden Replacing the manice causing destruction Pacing the process of self reflection Touch of the ocean Tidal disharmony All there’s ought to be Is the presence of sanity Touch of the ruins Marks a new belief All I’m ought to be Is the essence of morality Uncovering the inner secrets Of my molded soul Immense realization awakens me Leading me to reality Breaking the darkness The light passes through Unhinder, it reaches me Setting my soul free Enigma of time Adjusting the unforgiven crimes Bringing forth The ultimate divine A new uncrowned king Reborn to serve Another humanity’s kin Altering the curse The hour Is here It's finally here The invincible philosophy Is crashing down on me The magnitude is surreal Clearing my false behests As far as I can see It’s all meant to be A justified disclosure Guilty I plead The inevitable I perceive Of ashes uniformity The ultimatum is achieved And fading tides abreast

about

Risen from the ruins, created by the fierce tides, The Circle hails you to the realm of the blackened sun with the upcoming full-length concept album entitled ‘Of Awakening’.

With their second creation, the 3-piece founded in 2021 based around vocalist Asim Searah (Ex-Wintersun) takes you on a voyage through the facets of egoism, devastation, self-hatred and reflection and the results of destructive behavior that lead to a higher level of self-actualization.

Emphasized by a blend of aggression and disharmony, yet captivating the listener in a sorrowful and haunting atmosphere, the five compositions take the audience into a sound of ambient Black/Doom Metal combined with progressive and symphonic elements which the band describes as‘Art Metal’.

The highest Aim of this album is to open up the uncovered horizons of personal philosophy and launch a cathartic process in the inner self of every listener.
