[Verse 1]
Do not believe it only because you've heard it before
Simply because it's spoken and rumored

[Chorus]
One and all, live up to it
One and all, live up to it
One and all, one and all

[Verse 2]
Do not believe it simply because it's written in books
Let us understand our own destiny
The seekers will always seek out the truth
We are what we make of ourselves

[Chorus]
One and all, live up to it
One and all, live up to it
One and all, one and all

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.
