[Verse One]
Screaming
For more justice
Amazonia burns
Can you hear them

I'll fight
To save another day
So join us
And we'll make them leave this land

[Pre-Chorus]
Threatening
To kill how we feel
If we stop them it'll be worth dying for

[Chorus]
When you go down
When you go down motherfucker
When you go down
When you go down fighting
When you go down
When you go down motherfucker
When you go down
When you go down fighting
Motherfucker

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Why

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.
