Already with their debut “Truth To Promises” (1999 – Noise Records) Andy and his band delivered a strong piece of work which immediately gained the band a lot of attention and fantastic reviews. Andy, guitarist Cédric “Cede” Dupont and bassist Dennis Wohlbold became the creative core of the band, producing razor-sharp riffs and catchy melodies as if there was no tomorrow. Following a tour supporting MERCYFUL FATE, the band released their sophomore album “Sinctuary” (2000 – Noise Records), which managed to spread the name SYMPHORCE even further. Both fans and press hailed SYMPHORCE as one of the most promising and hopeful bands of the future, and they were right… The last few line-up problems were solved when guitarist/songwriter Markus Pohl and drummer Sascha Sauer joined the band. After playing a number of shows and festivals, the band devoted itself to the creation of new songs.
Now working with Metal Blade as their new partner, SYMPHORCE recorded their following two albums, “phorcefulAhead” (2002) and “Twice Second” (2004) at the House of Music Studios with Achim Köhler (BRAINSTORM, PRIMAL FEAR etc.) producing. “Energetic”, “modern”, “with real bite” are just some of the descriptions that the worldwide press gave the band. Through tours supporting the likes of KAMELOT and GRAVE DIGGER, as well as several festival shows, SYMPHORCE established themselves as a first-class international live act. Despite the difficulty of following up the press’ and fans’ favorite “Twice Second”, SYMPHORCE delivered once again. Everybody, from the last few skeptics to the true “phorceheads”, was equally surprised: “GodSpeed” showcased a band that had become a staple in the music world of 2005. Working with producer Dennis Ward (ANGRA, PINK CREAM 69) at the House of Music Studios, the band created a modern yet timeless album, far beyond the confines of so called power metal. A tour with SONATA ARCTICA and SYMPHORCE’s US live debut followed, making the band a worldwide name. In “Become Death” was released, the sixth album, featuring new drummer Steffen Theurer. Produced by Dennis Ward and mastered by Achim Köhler once again, “Become Death” is a true and unexpected progression for the band.
Circles Are Broken
Symphorce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why be confused, set your soul free
Another within, ... I'm suffering inside
Don't have to be god to realize
Will someone get out here ... alive
Another within, I'm suffering inside
A life in a mirror, the mindless eyes
Your choice will be rotten, by charming lies
So deep inside, worlds between
When fools will step in
Well it's written between the lines
The future is painted skies
So deep inside
Now can you feel me
When circles are broken
Now, will the sun rise?
These circles are broken
Shine within your light
Silent fears are deep inside
Now you have to ... hate me
They say god is on your side
And it's plain to see
Out of controls my role with you
Pass me by
Our real world has slipped away
Inner cry
What is real in the storm of the wasteland
Come on over it's more than the black sand
When you're touching the earth... your fate will wait!

Line by Line Meaning
Why don't you rise up and tell me
Share your thoughts with me instead of being silent
Why be confused, set your soul free
Don't remain confused, liberate yourself
Another within, ... I'm suffering inside
I have another personality within me, and it's causing me pain
Don't have to be god to realize
You don't have to be divine to understand
Will someone get out here ... alive
Will anyone survive this situation?
Another within, I'm suffering inside
My other personality is still causing me pain
A life in a mirror, the mindless eyes
Living a meaningless or superficial existence
Your choice will be rotten, by charming lies
Your decision will be influenced by deceitful persuasion
And soon you'll come in, the circle begins
You'll be caught in a cycle of events
So deep inside, worlds between
There's a vast inner world that separates us
When fools will step in
When the naive or gullible get involved
Well it's written between the lines
The subtext reveals the truth
The future is painted skies
The future is uncertain
So deep inside
The inner self is complex
Now can you feel me
Do you understand me now?
When circles are broken
When habitual patterns are interrupted
Now, will the sun rise?
Will things get better?
These circles are broken
The cycle is disrupted
Shine within your light
Embrace your inner strengths
Silent fears are deep inside
There are hidden fears within us
Now you have to ... hate me
Now you have to accept that you dislike me
They say god is on your side
Some believe that divine forces support you
And it's plain to see
It's obvious to everyone
Out of controls my role with you
I can't control my relationship with you
Pass me by
Don't pay attention to me
Our real world has slipped away
The actual reality has been lost
Inner cry
A cry from deep within
What is real in the storm of the wasteland
What can you count on in extreme difficulty?
Come on over it's more than the black sand
Come closer to see beyond the surface
When you're touching the earth... your fate will wait!
When you're grounded you can wait for destiny to unfold
