Sepultura

Released: December 22, 2016

What happened to me?
Felt like I had everything
Such a big catastrophe, but I had to deal with the struggle
It all began passing life so easily
Ready for almost anything, but it took a different direction

Then, one night, sharp turns
A light came from nowhere

Blown away
Never felt my injuries
Bleeding deep inside of me
Just knew I had to help all those people

Lost
My mind
It's gone
That life
Lost
I've been looking for myself
It haunts me everyday
I'm searching for a truth no longer there

Transformed I'm someone else
Must face my phantom self
Transformed I'm someone else
Must face my phantom self

It's a mystery
Changed my body's chemistry
Always creeping up on me
Wiped out my whole soul of existence

The crash
Flashbacks
Carnage
The blood keeps on flowing

Killing me
Trapped inside this tragedy
Can't see the road in front of me
Replay this nightmare over and over

Lost
I've been looking for myself
It haunts me everyday
I'm searching for a truth no longer there

Transformed I'm someone else
Must face my phantom self
Transformed I'm someone else
I'll face my phantom self

Lost
I've been looking for myself
It haunts me everyday
I'm searching for a truth no longer there

Transformed I'm someone else
Must face my phantom self
Transformed I'm someone else
I'll face my phantom self

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.
