I don't live today
Not in this world we see this way
I don't cheat a game
Not in this field we have to play

"Dear, dear land I fought for thee
And brought thee peace and victory"

Go on cowards
Go on bastards
I don't care no more
All is worse
All is darker
I can't breathe this air

"Dear, dear land I fought for thee
And brought thee peace and victory"

Bloody wires
Clockwork soul
What choice left for me?
The earth is dying
Go on humans
My pain has no gain

"Dear, dear land I fought for thee
And brought thee peace and victory"

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte. Formed in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band was a major force in the death metal, thrash metal and groove metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alternative metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal.

The first Sepultura show was on December 4th, 1984. The band played two songs that never were re-recorded or released.

The band name comes from a Portuguese translation of Motörhead’s song “Dancing on Your Grave” which is “Dançando na sua Sepultura”. Sepultura means “grave” (sepulchre) in Portuguese (and in some other Latin-based languages). Originally, they wanted to call the band Tropa de Choque (Shock Troops), but found that the name had been used before.
