The fight has started again
The blood is staining our hands
Selfish desires
Commence the killing again
Illusion of wealth
Stirring the rage
The fight has started again
Blood has been shed

Our earth
Our salvation
Slips through
Our hands are tied
We've sold our souls
There's no place to hide

Why? We closed our eyes
There's no second chance
Self-destruction
By speaking the truth
We stay alive

It's where we all come from
Strong in our stance
The source of our life
There's no second chance

Total demise
Blinded by faith
Cold blooded murder
Now, reverse what we've done
Save our future
We'll never give in
Preserve our future
Never give up
Fight till the end
Never give up

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.
