[Verse 1]
Fast death, disenchanted by life
Marked by envy and scorn
Show to the world his mortal hate
Die with regret
There's no light and there's no air
The rose's smell corrodes me
A deep agony possesses me
To be forgotten under a burial

[Chorus]
Rest in pain
Rest in pain
Rest in pain

[Verse 2]
You wake up lying on wet ground
Worms corrode your flesh
Pick up your own eyes
Watch your septic end
To shout at someone and not to be heard
The silence supports the paranoia
To die crying, this is my fate
The life I choose

[Bridge]
Schizophrenia
Paranoia
Insane death
Rest in pain

[Verse 3]
Fast death, disenchanted by life
Marked by envy and scorn
Show to the world his mortal hate
Die with regret
There's no light and there's no air
The rose's smell corrodes me
A deep agony possesses me
To be forgotten under a burial

[Outro]
Rest in pain
Rest in pain

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.
