Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time lapse, a moment of indeterminate time in which everything happens. What is happening when referring to kairos depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature. Kairos also means season in ancient and weather in modern Greek. The plural, καιροί (kairoi (Ancient Gk. and Mod. Gk.)) means the times.
In classical rhetoric
In rhetorickairos is "a passing instant when an opening appears which must be driven through with force if success is to be achieved."
Kairos was central to the Sophists, who stressed the rhetor's ability to adapt to and take advantage of changing, contingent circumstances. In Panathenaicus, Isocrates writes that educated people are those “who manage well the circumstances which they encounter day by day, and who possess a judgment which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise and rarely misses the expedient course of action".
Kairos is the twelfth studio album by the Brazilian metal band Sepultura. It was released on June 24, 2011 by independent German record label Nuclear Blast Records. This is the band's first release on the label, marking their first album not released on SPV/Steamhammer since 2001's Nation.

On March 1, 2011, it was announced that Sepultura had completed recording their album, which was tentatively due in May 2011.

never lost sight of my fate Many tried to block my ways but persistence kept me going on Now we trespass the line of time Going back but I´m right here, now and then, all done Kairos Wake the dream and face the facts Bridge the gap between the gaps In every blast that starts your mind You are there and only there you are Kairos The lines are crossed I´m way ahead Just need to balance the razor´s edge Nothing can stop us right now Cause it was built from what we gave. That´s right!
