The dreams of wealth
A common fantasy
They're only illusions
You see them on TV

They think they know everything about us
Don't think they ever will
Make a move in the wrong direction
Don't try to label us dead

Confuse what I think
Confuse what I think
Confuse what I think
Confuse what I think

Do you know what's wrong?
I don't know what's wrong
We want to be free!
We have to reject!
Do you know what's wrong?
I don't know what's wrong
We want to be free!
We have to reject!

Whose lives are we living?
How many people are led?
To believe break your back for a buck
Don't ever think it will end

Confuse what I think!
Confuse what I think!
Confuse what I think!
Confuse what I think!

Do you know what's wrong?
I don't know what's wrong
We want to be free!
We have to reject!
Do you know what's wrong?
I don't know what's wrong
We want to be free!
We have to reject!
We want to be free!
We have to reject!
We want to be free!
We have to reject!

The dreams of wealth
A common fantasy
They're only illusions
You see them on TV

Whose lives are we living?
How many are led?
In the wrong direction
Try to label us dead

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.
