The Roman empire has crucified the messiah
The bestial power as suffered for your god
Feared by this power, the cross he'll carry
And visions of destruction, this night you'll see

Crucified, killed, buried
Sacrificed fucking messiah
Kneeled down, blood stained
Morbid visions

The Christians, today they still cry
But the bastards adore images
Remembrances from the past, from the crucifixion
Rotting Christ, nailed to the cross

From the semen of the mankind
We'll spread our seed
And we'll show to the devoted
Morbid visions

Cry fucking preachers
Because your Gods have forgotten
The Antichrist there is to prove
Morbid visions

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.
