Silence 06:24
I. Silence Through the dead glass Stumbling in my room Looking for solutions Something to brighten up Sunrise quietly kept Inside the windowpane Sunrise quietly stands Silence awaits for my thoughts to ease Silence keeps watching me die Silence wants to calm me down Through my veins I must feel The answer I can't resist As my eyes stop wandering As my mind stop running Sunrise quietly kept Inside the windowpane Sunrise quietly stands Silence awaits for my hands to calm Silence keeps watching me fall Silence wants to calm me down I want to see the only way Fear to be lonely again Eclipsed by confusion Silence awaits from the windowpane; Showing all I want to see; Silence wants to be one again.

II. Kiss of the Blade You made your time, you made the harmony For the symphony of Life Dumped in drums, created cacophony But you won't have a single clap Don't Matter What you do You caught the iron, made the steel And made the sweet turn into sour Kissed the blades, tasted your blood But you won't make a single war Don't Matter What you do You made a run, You've made a fall From the End that is getting near You felt the razorblade, the freezing cage But you won't make a single step Oh, son, this life you live [This joke, you trying to fit in ] You've tasted indifference [But don't cry, my son] Oh, little son, you're gonna die [Hush! hush! Don't cry] Don't matter what you do

III. Over The Fire My goal is to loose conscience. The challenge is to wreck my soul. I've ran out of alibis, I've ran out of control. The silvery moon invites me to the funeral of my dreams. My last hope, deep buried. It's time to justify my means. Sick and tired I come to rest. Over fire, my other self staring All around me, you all try to imprison me. No force can bring me back to this world. Phantoms, come to the fire, let us celebrate the night. Gentle lions, come to the rain, let us have one last feast. Dear serpents, come to me. Smell the hot blood on my veins. It'll all be yours, take me to the loss of everything. Every me in this fire Is helping me to get where I want At stake, my deared sanity Carved within my very soul.

Deluge 04:41
IV. Deluge Unspoken, freed from madness. Noah, drowned by his false truth. Death revoking the Silver Age. Let us be molten into mud again. Neptune, free us from death! Oceans will be our graveyard and rain will be our blood! Free us from temptation fugue, Leviathan, eternal nemesis. Blood on water, drowned Earth. Deluge will spare no one. We're breathing demons to collapse, the slayers of humanity. Tied to ephemeral thoughts of mercy. So, the end comes again. El-Gabhel will not dry our sins. Nor will he save himself, unbeatable no more. "(...)And then we see the ocean land. The throne of men no longer is. The sand of time won't reach our minds. Deluge will spare no-one."
5.
V. Invisible Man Time to catch up with your concepts Maybe set it even again Let the everyday hang-on-pull-off over Driven by the eternal, etherial Chase it, the never standing glimpse of reality. Broken glasses, empty gaps between your words. Words thrown in the papers, will you find yourself? Lost between the lines you're an invisible man. Arguments, alliances, Don't let the elephants talk. Sometimes you feel like falling, I know how clichè you try to be. How can you love it? This state of pain and grace? Look behind you, look beside, You're an invisible man.
6.
Empty 07:21
VI. Empty Empty bottles, empty heads. Feeling lonely, just the same Another life, another world could not made them saved. Twisted Faces, twisted minds that plan their own disgrace. Wicked Ritual, wicked fall Tragedy like no one ever saw Empty minds, empty speeches. Hours of illusions to make up cruelty Precious treasure wasted down like made of bones and papers, Sacred relics of ages past just broken deviously. Precious souls that we're gifted wasted on this giant race that we call life, Feeling nothing, doing nothing but to ruin their own kind

Metastasis 02:04
8.
Chaos 04:42
VIII. Chaos Frightening laughter from nowhere Eyes surpassing weak flesh The thousand wounds death will take all Fear, Anger, Hopelessness Just try to survive, my son Life is chaotic, misery's rule Glide up your life, carve up your name Forget whoever's on your side Tear it down, Ram it up Destroy the walls of the sanatorium The Green House, the Black Guard Disorder is everywhere Save the murderer, escape from mutiny the frigate's sailing on blood the thousand wounds death will take them all One by one we'll fall
9.
IX. In The Middle Of Everything Liberty to think, freedom of pain. You didn't even reach the start. Do my words mean anything to you? Or are you waiting my voice to fade away? So self-assured, so full of pride. I bet You'll never come as far. This nightmare life you try to fit in. There's a time to end all your complaints. In the middle of everything you may try to find me. In the heart of the sunrise you'll see Don't you try to ruin me, I have not reach the end. Left aside, Suicide. Trace one line and follow it. Don't you try to run with lies, I know you're scared to death. Cruelty is reflex of fear. Lurk in shadows until you're ready. When finally you're sick of yourself, look behind to see your damage. Was is worthy for you? Or was it just a piece of the past?

Māyā 07:54
XI. Māyā Another empty glass, a meaningless chapter in my life. A hall of gray moments, wasted and gone. I need something to save me from nothingness. An unknown device of substance. I need to run away from hiding in my shell, Set my compass to the path of the divine. Just let the morning light push up your mind, come with me and meet ourselves. Aren't you tired of running in circles? An invisible man in the growing crowd? Set yourself free from the cold kiss of the blade. Let's write the prophecies of ages to come Don't think your history has come to an end, don't trust the witches of deluges of the past. If you had the chance to be immortal, would you hesitate? In the final steps of your life, You can always escape from the cycle of lies and decay In this procedure you are one. Gliding through your memories to eternity. Breaking the invisible veil of Māyā. Into this unknown device of conscience, Would you hesitate? If you had the chance to be immortal, would you hesitate?

about

Debut album of this brazilian Progressive Metal endeavour. Heavy songs, strong melodies, intense instrumentals in progressive roots; The concept behind this album portrays the human cyclic condition in its countless manifestations.

"Cyclings is about the true cyclical nature that lies in every thought and every action we take. Each step you are following someone else's. You are trapped in a downward spiral until you break the veil. We're not just humans, earthlings. We're cyclings, inhabitants of the Cycle."
— Luiz Freitag
