The skies are open before me
The crowd of souls in sudden flight
Hoping for prayers in the world
Late repentant, no stain from hell, no stain from hell
I thought the worst had, I thought the worst had past
[Incomprehensible] as the people, they have no face
I will not trust what I cannot see
None will have the time to strike a blow, the final blow, the final blow
Hell, no stain from hell
Those fools are the ones we vote for
(The kings and rules of negligence)
Taking a nation to lead in decay
(A shade announcing another law)
Cannot believe I couldn't escape
(No chance to leave this plague)
I have to be cleansed
From all the blame, the final blow

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.
