It started with lessons with how I should hate
Listening to everything spoken to me
Now there is a chance, you were just using me
Innocents turned to see your way of life
It's ripping through me everyday
My head keep spinning with the shit that you said
You even had me get down on my knees
Praying for something that I never believed
Your words are dead
I buried them, they're dead
Your words are dead
I buried them, they're dead
Living with promises that couldn't be kept
But I wasn't convinced
Many things you didn't want me to see
Now I'm standing in disbelief
Different voices speaking of you
All those fingers being pointing at you
Planting darkness in the hearts of men
You never thought it would come back again
Your words are dead
I buried them, they're dead
Your words are dead
I buried them, they're dead
You're not the king of the world
You let your ego get the best of you
You're not the king of my world
You let the power take control of you
Your words are dead
I buried them, they're dead
Your words are dead
I buried them, they'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.
