Close the Circle is one of three songs composed by The Fold for "Day of the Departed."
Lyrics
What's happening?
I feel so forgotten, I'm plotting to go it alone
With reckless abandon, I decided the plan is to make it on my own
Cuz I believe there’s something more for me
There's gotta be...
Close the circle or you're never getting out
The solution's vertical, jump up and take Yang down
There's no place to hide
Open the rift and close the circle, we’re running out of time…
It's frightening!
My reflection is fading, and I'm contemplating my doom
The ghost that I'm chasin' is cleverly placin' a path for me to choose
But destiny has got a plan for me
If I believe...
(Jump up kick back whip around and)
Close the circle or you're never getting out
The solution's vertical, jump up and take Yang down
There's no place to hide
Open the rift and close the circle, we’re running out of time…
