[Verse 1]
Perpetrated over time
Better walk the narrow line
Never challenge what we say
In the darkness of our mind
Never thought we'd be so blind
Let the nightmare get away
Isolation cannot be
The best, the best that we can do
Build a cage full of rage
Inner demons call your name
Suicide, your only friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Extermination of ourselves
Mass incarceration
Termination of ourselves
Mass incarcerate

[Chorus]
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
They'll lock you down
Lock you down for life

[Verse 2]
Carry out another fight
You might think you have the right
Maybe live another day
Use your body as a whore
Strip you right down to the core
You're the profit and the prey
Violate our human right
Is what, is what they always do
Out of sight, out of mind
Try to keep you dumb and blind
This is not a part of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Extermination of ourselves
Mass incarceration
Termination of ourselves
Mass incarcerate

[Chorus]
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
They'll lock you down
Lock you down for life

[Bridge]
When is my trial?
Guilty for life

[Chorus]
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
They'll lock you down
Lock down for life

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.
