What Could Have Been - Lyrics - Callenish Circle

Callenish Circle was an extreme metal band from the Netherlands. They recorded three of their albums for Metal Blade Records, and broke up in February 2007. In the early 2000s things were going well for the band. In 2002 they toured with God Dethroned, played at the Dutch version of Ozzfest and the German Party San Open Air, and opened for Dimmu Borgir. Their fourth album was released by Metal Blade in 2003; to support it they played that year's Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze festivals in Germany, and in October they were part of the Bonded By Metal Over Europe-tour, headlined by Exodus, Nuclear Assault, and Agent Steel. In 2006 they toured Mexico , before they decided to break up in 2007.

Fearless I pushed the switch, causing you Suddenly to disappear The echo of thunder again reduced Never thought you Would leave me Still chasing time, so close Yet so far apart My understanding is killing me I know you had to Follow your heart Don't look at me now It's for your own good Just to walk away Road ends, remains The unspoken truth All hopes merged into stone Terrified of the unknown What could have been I realize All hope merged into stone Terrified of the unknown is now forever gone Let it slip through my fingers... Don't look at me now It's for your own good Just to walk away Road ends, remains Not aware of the scarlet claw Seemingly uncomplicated What could have been I realize Now your love Forever lost Fearless I pushed the switch, causing you Suddenly to disappear The echo of thunder again reduced Never thought you Would leave me New day has come but I'll get over you Tide is high Access still denied
