[Verse 1]
Eyes bloodshot, I see a broken face
At any moment this can all just turn to pain
I'm feeling empty, so unrelieved
'Cause what I do, I do 'cause I like to do

[Verse 2]
A life in my hands, a power so grand
You think it's over but you just keep pushing me
Don't try and reason, can't hardly wait
'Cause what I do, I do 'cause I like to do

[Verse 3]
No need to fight me, can't run away
It doesn't matter, you'll be fucked up anyway
My mind is twisted most of the time
'Cause what I do, I do 'cause I like to do

[Verse 4]
I'm on a mission, only one way
Insert the fear in the hearts of my enemies
I walk with clenched fists, no other way
'Cause what I do, I do 'cause I like to do

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.
