O desespero, a dor, o medo
Fatores decisivos que te obrigam a pensar
O vinho e sangue, a carne e o pão
Chagas que nao fecham que intrigam sua vida
O ceu e o inferno, a cruz o perdão
A luz no fim do tunel e vida depois da morte
Voce tomou sua decisão
Nao espere julgamento sua alma esta perdida

Heresia, maldição
O pai, o filho, o espirito santo
Ignoram os fieis que nao se cansam de rezar
Gritam, cantam a oracao
Desculpem eu lamento eles nao vao te escutar

Reza

[Spoken words]

Arrependei-vos pecadores
A penitencia purifica
O sangue escorre
A dor fascina
So o medo te faz rezar

A guerra e santa o pecado e mortal
A hostia consagrada que tem gosto de esfiha
Tortura, fogueira, a inquisição
O passado violento da igreja e normal
Armagedon, destruição
O fim do mundo e pouco pra fuder a sua vida
Enriquecer, ressucitar
Em nome de Jesus nao me comece a chorar

Reza

Amen

English translation by OmegaRed/David Ache

He despair, the pain, the fear
Decisive factors that make you think
The wine and blood, the flesh and bread
Wounds that do not heal that intrigue your life
Heaven and hell, the cross and the forgiveness
The light in the end of the tunnel and life after death
You've made your decision
Don't wait for trial (judgement?), there's no hope for your soul
(literal translation: "Don't wait for trial, your soul is lost")

Pray - Pray - Pray - Pray

Heresy, Curse
The father, the son, and the Holy Ghost
They ignore the faithful that don't stop praying
(literal translation: "They ignore the faithful that don't get tired of praying")
They scream, sing the prayer
I'm sorry, but they won't listen to you

Pray - Pray - Pray - Pray

Regret, sinners
The penitence purifies
The blood drips
The pain fascinates
Only fear makes you pray

The war is sacred, the sin is mortal
The Host that tastes like esfiha
Torture, fire, inquisition
The violent past of the Church is normal
Armaggedon, destruction
The end of the world is not much to fuck your life
To enrich, to resuscitate
In the name of Jesus don't start crying

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.
