[Verse 1]
Land of anger
I didn't ask to be born
Sadness, sorrow
Everything so alone

Laboratory sickness
Infects humanity
No hope for cure
Die by technology

[Verse 2]
A world full of shit coming down
Tribal violence everywhere
Life in the age of terrorism
We spit in your other face

[Verse 3]
War of races
World without intelligence
A place consumed by time
End of it all

[Chorus]
We're born
With pain
No more
We're dead
Embryonic cells

[Bridge]
Corrosion inside - we feel
Condemned future - we see
Emptiness calls - we hear
Final premonition - the truth

[Verse 4]
Land of anger
I didn't ask to be born
Sadness, sorrow
Everything so alone

Laboratory sickness
Infects humanity
No hope for cure
Die by technology

[Chorus]
We're born with pain
Suffer remains
We're born with pain
Suffer remains
We're dead

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.
