Face the enemy
Stare inside you
Control your thoughts
Destroy, destroy 'em all

You censor what we breathe
Prejudice with no belief
Senseless violence all around
Who is it that keeps us down?

Once all free tribes
Chained down, led lives
Blood boils inside me
We're not slaves, we're free

Face the enemy
Stare inside you
Control your thoughts
Destroy, destroy 'em all

Sepultura

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.
