[Verse 1]
All of us are victims
Confined by enigmas
Without solution
Your frozen thoughts don't let you evolve
A prisoner of your own trap
Slaves of an infinite pain
What will be the limit?
What will be the end?

[Chorus]
Life ends
Feeling death
Slaves of pain

[Chorus]
Life ends
Feeling death
Slaves of pain

[Verse 2]
Seeking new paths
Don’t be tied to your mistakes
Run away from this
Uncured sickness
Open your eyes
Don’t lose your steps
Liberty is a dream
And it also is real

[Bridge]
To die, to run away
To forget what I’ve been
To erase my past
To kill my guilt

[Chorus]
Life ends
Feeling death
Slaves of pain

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.
