[Verse 1]
The blame I took
The shame I've passed
The choice to leave another life unchanged
Expanding world
It's a disease
They forced their peace into my veins and brain

[Pre-Chorus]
Another rude fall
Down on my knees
I couldn't breathe, I thought I was insane
The drug TV is there for all to see
To show you brother, you have no other way

[Chorus]
This is not life
This is not life
This is not life
This is not life

[Verse 2]
The choice to leave one's free will behind
Leads to a mind blowing paradox
I trust my feelings, my only guide
I only say what I say to hear what I don't hear

[Pre-Chorus]
Another rude fall
Down on my knees
I couldn't breathe, I thought I was insane
The drug TV is there for all to see
To show you brother, you have no other way

[Chorus]
This is not life
This is not life
My free will died when they took my mind

[Outro]
This is not life
This is not life
This is not life
This is not life
My free will died when they took my mind

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.
