Action speaks loud
Louder than any word
You need to watch it all
You need to learn it all
False smiles, all hypocrites
You know you're paying all
You need to watch your back

Do you think he's cured?
Do you think he's sane?
Do you think he's free?
Do you think at all?
Being you, not being me
Is this a way to cure a life so obscured?

Experiment from the government
It's a moral sin of our society

Experiment from the government
It's a moral sin of our society
They're feeding lies to an empty mind
A mind impelled to be good

A chemical war inside
No choice no more
A human guinea pig
No choice no more
He ceases to be a man
No choice no more
He has no choice no more
No choice no more
No more

No choice no more
No choice no more
No choice no more
No choice no more

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.
