[Verse 1]
Bored, my symptoms are dead
Rarest seconds I have to rest
Time will keep my instinct to seek
And my urge will bring me revenge

[Chorus]
Strike
Strike

[Verse 2]
It's never been easy to beg (No)
Rethinking the plan, reinventing a man
I had to learn it all the hard way
The vengeance strikes deep within

[Chorus]
Strike
Strike
Strike

[Verse 3]
I'm not the leader of my acts
No longer hearing my mind
I'm living a life underground
I'm so fucked

[Chorus]
Strike
Strike
Strike

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.
