[Verse One]
Stubborn from the start
Obey no one no matter what
Our life it's our right
Why don't you go away
We live without orders
We live without rules
Tearing down the wall
That try to hold us in

I got my tribe it's my own right
And I don't have to tell you why
It's been like that from the start
And you can't break it apart
Sepultura in our hearts
Can't take it away
These roots will always remain

[Chorus]
Born in pain
Born stubborn

[Verse Two]
Stubborn from the start
Obey no one no matter what
Our life it's our right
Why don't you go away
We live without orders
We live without rules
Tearing down the wall
That try to hold us in

[Chorus]
Born in pain
Born stubborn

[Verse Three]
I got my tribe it's my own right
And I don't have to tell you why
It's been like that from the start
And you can't break it apart
Sepultura in our hearts
Can't take it away
These roots will always remain

[Outro]
Born stubborn
Born in pain
Born stubborn
Born in pain
Born in pain
Suffering life
Make us rise

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.
