[Verse 1]
I've seen you fighting through the time
I've followed your steps, full of pain
Unnamed hero that's challenged the human ego

[Verse 2]
Victim of cowardice
Of strong manipulation
A system that was made to lie and to deceive

[Verse 3]
Screams of agony
Satisfy the proud
But these screams still echo inside the conscience

[Bridge]
Contradiction, aggression, desolation, illusion

[Verse 4]
Nonconformity takes my mind
Too much injustice to forget so fast
My disgust is greater than my compassion
Feel the pain upon your final hour

[Verse 5]
Self-blame can't hurt me, eye for an eye
You receive your just reward
Now I'll live my life with indifference
I've tortured without remorse
I've slaughtered without fear

[Outro]
Brain killing brain
Brain killing brain
Brain killing brain
Brain killing brain

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.
