Sepultura

[Verse 1]
Hate - a feeling we can see
Create fictitious enemy
Outlaw of expression
Forget past wars we have fought

[Pre-Chorus]
Watchers of morality
Told by the hierarchy
Machine to society
Falling to conformity
Terrified to speak your mind
Passes down the government
Doesn’t matter who you are
For our own good

[Chorus]
Built upon nation's security
Police state, brutality
Final infliction, manifestation
The doctrine is to brainwash

[Verse 2]
Terror is control
The key's, distrust
Annihilate free thought
Despise the unknown

[Pre-Chorus]
Watchers of morality
Told by the hierarchy
Machine to society
Falling to conformity
Terrified to speak your mind
Passes down the government
Doesn’t matter who you are
For our own good

[Chorus]
Built upon nation's security
Police state, brutality
Final infliction, manifestation
The doctrine is to brainwash

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.
