The way we see the world, the way we experienced the world, the whole spectrum of our living. The riff is very simple, yet very powerful, it sets the tone for the whole song, kind of an hypnotic effect, it was the first riff that I wrote for Kairos and it turned out to be the first song of it.

SPECTRUM
Sepultura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through these eyes we shook the world
Through these eyes we fought the world
Through these eyes we shook the world
Through these eyes we fought the world

Through these eyes we shock the world
No fear at all went head strong
Aggravations, hostility

But there´s a difference, we are free

In my eyes a line divided
So choose a side and stand united
Divide & fall reflections of what we have done
There´s no shame, but there´s is pride

Fought for everything
We did what we have to do
There is a purpose for this fight
In the end I know it´s right

We are free, we are free!

[Solo]

In my eyes, see strong conviction
Laid to rest, all doubts are dead

Fought for everything
We did what we have to do
There is a purpose for this fight
In the end I know it´s right

There is a purpose for this fight
In the end it´s right

There is a purpose for this fight
In the end it´s right
