[Verse One]
Life
The struggle to survive
Crawling, raging
Feed the hate inside

[Chorus]
Are we going to see another day?
Are we going to make it all the way?
Are we going to see the light of day?
Are we going to make it till the end?

[Verse Two]
Rise
Bad moon rise
Another war, another crime
End in sight

[Verse Three]
Bleak
Why & what the fuck?
Shut your mouth, shut your mind, this the way
You're just another prey

[Bridge]
Is that what we've became?

Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise
Rise

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Endangered species
Endangered species
Endangered species
Is that what we've became?

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.
