Cyclopean (Alt Metal Mix)
progressive metalcore, djent, groove metal, Drop C, an explosive and chaotic blend of seven-string chugged riffs playing polyrhythm beats, drop tuned guitars, syncopated palm muting, sub-drop breakdown, half-time stomp, distorted bass layers, gated snare, parallel compression, plate reverb vocals, gritty shouted chorus, aggressive raspy screams, shifting time signatures, odd dissonant notes

Lyrics
intro
Oh
Search for stones
Oh
verse 1
Cyclopean walls raised from desert sands
Protecting the Mycenaean homeland
Massive ancient forms torn from sacred stone
Remaining unbroken for a thousand years
interlude
Oh, yeah
verse 2
Look to the south to find the reason why
Sacsayhuamán rising into the sky
These high walls of stone surely cannot fall
Locked together in an eternal embrace
chorus 1
Look upon the stone maze
Have we all lost our way
Our past carved from the earth
Lessons we never learned
What does it all mean
Cyclopean...
Cyclopean...
interlude
Oh
Built of stone
Oh yeah
Left alone
Oh
bridge
The people have gone away
Monuments that still remain
Heads and lions carved to last
Speaking to us from the past
The secrets are in the stone
They made these places their home
Couldn't save them from mankind
History repeats this time
breakdown 1
Oh yeah
Build your walls
Oh yeah
Make them tall
Uh
They can't save you from what is to come
Oh
pre-chorus
False promises...
Become hostages...
chorus 2
Look upon the stone maze
Have we all lost our way
Our past carved from the earth
Lessons we never learned
What does it all mean
Cyclopean...
Cyclopean...
outro
Cyclopean...
Cyclopean...
Cyclopean...
What does it mean?
It mean?
