What is this sickness
That sits there, deep down inside
Walking in bullshit
Nothing seems quite right
I want redemption
I know this darkness around me
Felt it before
The dark has the power
To bring me down to the floor
Standing still, open doors
Feeling pain, can not move
Feeling scared, standing still
Better start something
Better than nothing
Can't go on seeing
All of these horrors
Eyes wide open, can't keep them shut
From this horror of the shame
Feel the pain, life's fucked up
Witness our horrors, real close up
Better start something
Better than nothing
Can't go on seeing
All of these horrors
Better start something
Can't go on seeing

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.
