The senseless painted room, excuses from the sky
Compassion for nothing, purity was a lie
Our souls have wounds, our sons will touch
The breath of life, for all mankind

By the faith of God, let me be my name
In the name of God, let me live my faith

To instigate a fear that resides in you
The mystery of each and every one of us
Trust to trust, teeth to teeth
Lying low, near the sky

By the faith of God, let me be my name
In the name of God, let me live my faith

Under the ways of faith, under the ways of faith
Under the ways of faith, can I live?
Under the ways of faith, under the ways of faith
Under the ways of faith, can I live?

Sacrifice is made in holy wars
Covered in blood, the path we walked before
Seeds in sacred soil no longer grow
Can I live without you killing me

Under the ways of faith, under the ways of faith
Under the ways of faith, can I live?
Under the ways of faith, under the ways of faith
Under the ways of faith, can I live?

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.
