[English]

Got your freedom now, boy

Who do you serve?

Took for granted what you should have preserved

No time left, no time left to make amends

Keep burning bridges while you're buying your new friends

A day of reflection hits

You're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs

Is it worth your soul?

A day of reflection hits

It's funny how times can change, rearrange

And distance makes the pain fade away

So important then, doesn't matter now

Both feet on the ground

Come full circle, yeah

Come full circle

...

No access granted now, boy

You've been denied

Jump a fence to see what's on the other side

Are you wanted, are you wanted? The question is

Can second chances mean another impression?

A day of reflection hits

You're a shell, skin and bones, counting costs

Is it worth your soul?

A day of reflection hits

It's funny how times can change, rearrange

And distance makes the pain fade away

So important then, doesn't matter now

Both feet on the ground

Come full circle

We've come full circle

I got one foot stuck in heaven, yeah

One boot stuck in hell

I looked at God, He winked at me

I made this mess myself

Don't be surprised and don't deny

Hear every word I say

Close the door and don't look back or you will fade away

...

It's funny how times can change, rearrange

And distance makes the pain fade away

It's funny how times can change, rearrange

And distance makes the pain fade away

So important then, doesn't matter now

Both feet on the ground

Come full circle

Full circle

Come full circle

We have come full circle

...
