Forgive me, father
Forgive me, God
I know I've sinned
With no remorse
Apocalyptic visions
Went through my head

Here today
Gone tomorrow
It's all insane
I'm feeling sick
I'm feeling numb
The storm will come
In the name of God
I'm the chosen one

Terror raids the land
To ashes we'll be sent
In the name of God
Lives cast away

Martyrdom of myself
Armageddon comes
In the name of God
Not one more dead

Fire blasting, cutting edge
Children burn in flames
In the name of God
We're going insane

Let us die
You don't realize
This is the time
God's sacrifice

Leaving behind
Lessons in hate
In the name of God
We're all dead
Burn!

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.
