Revolting manner of handling power
Perpetrating lies and misery
Fifty years of progress in five
People living only to survive
The child is suffering a mother's deadly dream

I'm fed up to see them being mistreated
I'm always feeling like I'm being cheated

No honest meanings the way I'm treated
Multi racial society
Degradation of liberty
Urban warfare at all levels
Politicians rethinking his measures
I'm deep inside

A sea of mud
The underground
South of the world
Rule my urge

Can't control my urge
Can't control my urge

Ruled by urge
Between the shacks and arid soil
The concrete jungle with trees of steel
Between the millions confronting faces
Confusing crowds with distant traces
Side line control trespassing over

Soldiers out there drug dealing
Warriors of the raw feelings
Dictating rules and committing the crimes
I'm deep inside

A sea of mud
The underground
South of the world

Can't control my urge
Rule my urge
Can't control my urge
Ruled by urge

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.
