[Verse 1]
Struggle with demons, enticing my dreams
Psychotic illusions, can't make out what's real
Tormented and tortured, oppressing the screams
Denying the symptoms that brought us all here

[Verse 2]
Can't make out the faces, keep changing with time
Search for an answer, hope passes us by
Must keep always moving, you stop when you die
Born into this world, no escaping this fucking game

[Chorus]
Do you believe what I say?
There's no relief when you pray
Without it we die, no food in our mouths
You can't deny what I say
We live for it or die

[Bridge]
Fight for it, lie for it
Even try to kill for it
Never stop, pay the price
Even after death

[Verse 3]
Once you have the taste of it, you want it all the time
Turn your back on everything and sink into the grime
Searching for the power, desperate and alone
Everyone's an enemy, can knock you off your throne
Falling down

[Chorus]
Better believe what I say
There's no relief when you pray
Raised from the cradle till death in the grave
You can't deny what I say
We live for it or die

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.
