You are blind
Deny the sun and light
Who are the objections?
Where comes the doubts?

Procreation of the wicked
Procreation of the wicked

Serenades of opposition, oh
Absurdity, human fate and hope
True reflection of community
Procreation of the gods and lords

Procreation of the wicked
Procreation of the wicked (of the wicked)

Cain and Abel, love and dead
Love and hate is what we are, yeah
Dagger and grail (have)
Fallen off the altar

Procreation of the wicked
Procreation of the wicked
Procreation

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.
