Dolor venit et transire potest Vulnera aperta per viam manent Dolor videtur abire Sed numquam plene ex corde evanescit Cyclus doloris multam patimur Angeli vocant ad vitam æternam

Divinum Iudicium Tempestas vocata est Præparate We are the beasts, we are the saviors too Looking out across the land to nowhere There is a force to reckon with (Divided) It's only human nature And what has been shall never be again Just dismiss the way we suffer, there is more than life at stake There is a way, I know (A way, I know) We change our forms and grow (Forms and grow) The winds prevail, advance and sail into the sun There is no rain or snow (Rain or snow) To shroud the afterglow (Afterglow) A new crusade, unrest will fade, we're marching on Ride into the storm The air is static, you can smell the burn Of a thousand points of light and thunder The clouds of years of hate will soon dispel To illuminate our minds and to free the truth again We are the soldiers of the blessed (United) Controlling circumstances There is a way, I know (A way, I know) We change our forms and grow (Forms and grow) The winds prevail, advance and sail into the sun There is no rain or snow (Rain or snow) To shroud the afterglow (Afterglow) A new crusade, unrest will fade, we're marching on Ride into the storm This night, so quiet, no haze, calmness all around No fear, hope is near, follow the guiding light Onwards, to the eye, straight line, dive into the mayhem No trial, no deep denial, justice served There is a way, I know (A way, I know) We change our forms and grow (Forms and grow) The winds prevail, advance and sail into the sun There is no rain or snow (Rain or snow) To shroud the afterglow (Afterglow) A new crusade, unrest will fade, we're marching on Ride into the storm Præparate

I was living so out of control Like I was immortal No man of mercy Couldn't understand Always wasting away, eternally, through the fire In the end there'll be resolution One's confined by their own conclusions No forgiveness for sins we can't explain So one sided Paintings in the gallery of life Passing before my eyes Moments we caught in frames Are all that remain Dead Man on Display In the mirror all that I can see Are the eyes of a stranger Just staring back and assessing me Then I fall to the ground in agony I surrender They remember a past existence All was new and the end was distant Saw me cower with no persistence Now I'm only a shell Paintings in the gallery of life Passing by before my eyes Moments we caught in frames Are all that remain Dead Man on Display We are only portraits on a wall Nothing's forever, nothing's forever Pictures from the gallery of life Passing before my eyes Moments we caught in frames And all that remains Is the memory God have mercy, I have lost my way Nothing can bring me back I must accept my fate For now I've become A Dead Man on Display!

If you'd go back in time for just one single day One tiny change in life and you wouldn't be the same Oh, life is a tide of changes Why a deed so small may affect it all Mysteries that make me wonder Oh, life is a tide of changes Remember this

Here I am, torn down to pieces And from where I stand Rock bottom made me stronger Even when the days seemed longer For all kinds of stormy weather I had enough I had enough to make my fears my strength And now you're back To take another piece of me Take another piece and think I'm falling Take your chance I've waited for this moment Take another piece of me Take another piece of me, I'm warning Take your chance I'm ready for this moment to rise again I'll rise again There I was An ordinary man struggling to get along I wonder where you were when I was Breaking all the chains around me Trying to find a place for myself in this world And I can't wait to see you come again To feel my fire Just wanna take it, so take it Take another piece of me Take another piece and think I'm falling Take your chance I've waited for this moment Take another piece of me Take another piece of me, I'm warning Take your chance I'm ready for this moment to rise again I'll rise again Calm tide ahead Strong tide ahead Strong tide ahead Strong tide ahead When you think you know it Life's a tide of changes! (Salve, salve Iemanjá Salve Janaína, e tudo que se fez n'água Jogue flores para o mar Deus salve a rainha) If you wanna take it Take another piece of me Take another piece and think I'm falling Take your chance I've waited for this moment Take another piece of me Take another piece of me, I'm warning Take your chance I'm ready for this moment to rise again I'll rise again Strong tide ahead

Vida Seca 05:12
Aurora fria, a lua devolvia o sol Prum mundo tão real O corpo em pé e a alma embaixo do lençol Procurando forças Pra chorar Olhe Deus por seu filho pecador A vida seca, não havia espaço pra ilusão Brincava de lutar E vivendo entre o caos e a confusão Eu nunca achei o meu lugar E o sol nasceu para iluminar a escuridão Tudo mudou Another word of wisdom to save the day Another life to know There is a universe of endless possibilities Another chance to grow Found my way through the wind and the cold I lie awake, as the gods of the world take control Lost in the wide horizon Set my gaze to the distant past And hide from the glistening blinding light Have I lost to a higher power? Try my best just to comprehend And the hope flows like water through my hands Then I wane for a moment and I Surrender Talk to me cause my pride is crawling Answer me, I am losing all control? The angels are falling Comfort me when my faith is dying Follow me to the end of time, you know The angels are falling The angels are falling The angels are calling Lost in the wide horizon Set my gaze to the distant past And I hide from the glistening blinding light Have I lost to a higher power? Try my best just to comprehend And the hope flows like water through my hands Like the clouds fading out of my mind I just cherish the moment and smile

You know we're not the same No matter who's to blame We're dreaming of a better world Time for the human race Don't give up in disgrace Give meaning to your words Words are lies You know how well the story goes They blind, blind your eyes You fall in with the darkest minds Gods of the world You have to realize Old heroes in disguise No one is perfect in this world They force us to divide And all the cards they hide So they have full control Words are lies You know how well the story goes They blind, blind your eyes You fall in with the darkest minds Gods of the world Control us all They play your fortune in a game of rise and fall And every minute They call the shots Marionettes under the strings of the gods Gods of the world Gods of the world Words are crimes The enemy's been idolized Blind, blind your eyes Sustaining all the darkest minds Gods of the world Control us all They play your fortune in a game of rise and fall And every minute They call the shots Marionettes under the strings of the gods Gods of the world Gods of the world Gods of the world

You wake up alone again It's hard to get out of bed Your mind is blank Your heart is black All these fears that you can't explain When nothing seems to make sense A shallow grave you're buried in Everything goes wrong and you're lonely Try to control Put up a fight Lying helpless in the dark Everything goes wrong and you're desperate Taking a life Won't make it right Hide your tears The battle of everyday Pretend it's all gone away The agony of broken dreams The hours are all the same And misery wants to stay Tortures me Everything goes wrong and you're lonely Just try to control Put up a fight It's so hard for everyone Everything goes wrong and you're desperate Avoiding yourself Taking the blame Here it comes again Cycles of pain, burning my heart Screaming in rage won't tear it apart Cycles of pain, burning my heart Lost in the dark When there is no ground, I fall so deep All the angels sing a song but I can't hear Stand up, be strong now, be brave for me Cycles of pain, burning my heart Screaming in rage won't tear it apart Walking alone, lost in the dark Cycles of pain, helpless despair Try to escape from all that is there Cycles of pain, burning my heart Burning my heart but I will survive I will survive I was lost and lonely But I know I will survive

I remember a simpler time for which I still yearn Willow trees sway by the lake, memories like ashes burn Seasons passed and the years went by, dreams without an end Every day the sun would shine, bliss running through my hands Somewhere down my beaten path Shadows were freed from my cage I gave in and then let go Surrendered to the unknown This bird has flown I can close my eyes, ghosts are always there I can't hide, shadows are everywhere We'll get knocked down, put aside our fears We don't need no sympathy The cross we bear A faithless sanctuary Blind help the blind, lead the way To the light, so out of sight I can close my eyes, ghosts are always there I can't hide, shadows are everywhere Live and learn, nothing in return Hope is no concern, I found the truth at last (Please don't listen to a word I said Listen to the voice inside instead) Take what you have, you've got to live in the moment Tear off those chains that confine you Nothing will lead you astray anymore Please don't listen to a word I said Listen to the voice inside instead Please don't listen to a word I said Listen to the voice inside instead 'Cause the truth's not in the words you've read Nevermind the past, just look ahead I can close my eyes, ghosts are always there I can't hide, shadows are everywhere Live and learn, nothing in return Hope is no concern, I found the truth at last (Please don't listen to a word I said Listen to the voice inside instead 'Cause the truth's not in the words you've read Nevermind the past, just look ahead) (Please don't listen to a word I said Listen to the voice inside instead 'Cause the truth's not in the words you've read Nevermind the past)

Inside your worried mind Counting every beat of your heart Trying to fit into this world You're still young and life's a journey Nothing really matters 'til you start Things you do will define who you are Wise men try to understand And not to judge their fellow man at all Just try Open your heart Be the change that you want for this world Look in the mirror Open your heart Let the seeds that you sow be the future Here in the now! The sun was beating down Dried up all the tears that you've cried Lose the mask we've worn for ages Now you know just where we stand Open your heart Be the change that you want for this world Look in the mirror Open your heart Let the seeds that you sow be the future Here in the now! We're living here in the now Open your heart Be the change that you want for this world Look in the mirror Open your heart Let the seeds that you sow be the future Here in the now! Open your heart Be the change that you want for this world Look in the mirror Open your heart 'Cause the seeds that you sow are the future Here in the now!

Skies have turned to black Destruction Blood stains of the innocent Primal fear has been reset Bear my shield to face the rival Death will be their punishment Impale every freak of hate Instruments of evil decimate mankind The wreckage scattered everywhere Now they have to face the Generation warriors Once enslaved by our technology Disregard philosophy of man Generation warriors Lost the concept of the universe Evolution in reverse again Generation warriors All is torn apart Confusion Streets became a battlefield This, our day of reckoning We dissolve the vicious regime Disengage their relevance Reclaim our confidence Law and order reinstated, new decree The devices of supremacy Have proclaimed their legacy Generation warriors Once enslaved by our technology Disregard philosophy of man Generation warriors Lost the concept of the universe Evolution in reverse again Generation warriors Generation warriors Once enslaved by our technology Disregard philosophy of man Generation warriors Lost the concept of the universe Evolution in reverse again Generation warriors We are warriors We are heroes

Some say I'm just a foolish man With hopes and dreams I never thought I'd fall in love Not the way I did for you You were the angel in my life All I could see You were the stars that lit my night Still, I can't believe it's true, oo-ooh It's true What I did, I did for you, oo-ooh I only pity for your soul here from my grave I hope you crawl your way to hell And I don't believe you, oo-oo-ooh You were always just a fool, oo-oo-ooh Raining down in tears of blood Haunted by the ghost of my revenge Now I drown in tears of blood Nothing but regret flow in my veins In my veins All my sorrow won't go away Oo-oo-ooh Oo-oo-ooh Oo-oo-oo-ooh Oo-oo-oo-ooh But I can't believe it's true Oo-oo-ooh, oh Raining down in tears of blood Haunted by the ghost of my revenge Still I drown in tears of blood Nothing but regret flow in my veins Raining down in tears of blood Haunted by regret, sorrow and pain Here I drown in tears of blood Shadows of regret won't go away All my sorrows terrify me And won't go away In the dark I drift alone, a soul in pain Please, give freedom to my soul The dreadful pain won't go away

about

ENGLISH

It's been five long years since iconic Brazilian power metal kings Angra released their latest album, "Ømni". Finally the band is back now with new music, proving once again to be one of the most unique bands of the genre. Angra's signature sound - merging classic virtuosic power metal with progressive elements and rhythms - is on full display here and makes "Cycles Of Pain" a highlight for every fan of sophisticated first-class metal. The band's long-running line-up (founded in 1991) is joined by former Rhapsody of Fire vocalist Fabio Lione since 2013, who once again delivers an incredible performance. Guest appearances by multiple Latin Grammy winner Lenine (on the partly Portuguese song "Vida Seca") as well as Amanda Somerville (Avantasia, Kiske/Somerville) and Vanessa Moreno round off Angra's new masterpiece perfectly. "Cycles Of Pain" was mixed and mastered by Dennis Ward (Helloween, Magnum, Firewind).
