Shaaman split up in October 2006 due to personal and musical differences.
Following the break up, the drummer, Ricardo Confessori decided to reform the band under the name "Shaman" with guitarist Leo Mancini, vocalist Thiago Bianchi and bassist Fernando Quesada. Their new album is to be named "Immortal" and is due to be released in 2007.
Ritual
Shaaman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Magic Circle is all around it
Burning like the innocence of love
Let the mist surround it
Spinning like the Fortune Wheel
Hand into hand, we pray together
Visions of a future world appear
And a face is there
From the smoke a face is rising
Ancient, like the reason of life
Get your body close to mine
There is a Ritual longing for us
Such a thing you await
For all your life
Let yourself surrender now
And a face is there
From the fire a face is rising
Mystic, like the reason of life
Holy Flame,
The Ritual yearns without you
Understand,
The Mystery lies about you
Once again the fate has
Crossed our ways
As the fire burns away...
Hold on
Cause I need you
And I want to know
What took so long...
And your Fortune,
You just need to understand!
Holy Fire burning on
Closing the Circle back together
Once around and coming evr more
Just to start all over
And a face is there
From the fire a face is rising
Magic, like the reason of life
Holy Flame,
The Ritual yearns without you
Understand,
The Mystery lies about you
Once again the fate has
Crossed our ways
As the fire burns and once again
The fate has crossed our ways
As the fire burns away...!
The song "Ritual" by the Brazilian band Shaaman is about a group coming together to perform a powerful, magical ritual. The lyrics describe a "holy fire" burning in a "magic circle" surrounded by mist. As the group joins hands and prays together, they see visions of a better world. The lyrics suggest that the ritual is ancient and contains knowledge that is as old as the reason for life itself.
One interesting aspect of the song is the way it blends elements of different religions and spiritual practices. The use of a magic circle is a common part of some Wiccan and Neopagan traditions, while the idea of a holy fire burning at the center of the circle is more conventionally associated with Christianity or Judaism. The reference to the "Fortune Wheel" suggests an influence from Buddhism or Hinduism. The lyrics suggest that this ritual is not bound by any one particular religious tradition, but draws on the power and wisdom of many different spiritual practices.
Another key theme of the song is surrender. The lyrics urge listeners to "let yourself surrender now" and to get close to one another in order to experience the full power of the ritual. This is a common idea in many spiritual traditions, particularly those that emphasize the importance of community, connection, and trust. The final lines of the song suggest that the ritual is cyclical, and that the group will come together again and again, always starting fresh and renewing their commitment to each other and to the magic of the sacred fire at the center of their circle.
Overall, "Ritual" is a rich and complex song that draws on themes and imagery from many different religious and spiritual traditions. Its lyrics invite listeners to join together in a powerful, transformative experience that transcends any one particular tradition or belief system.
