[Verse 1]
Walking these dirty streets
With hate in my mind
Feeling the scorn of the world
I won't follow your rules

[Refrain]
Blame and lies, contradictions arise
Blame and lies, contradictions arise

[Chorus]
Nonconformity in my inner self
Only I guide my inner self

[Verse 2]
I won't change my way
It has to be this way
I live my life for myself
Forget your filthy ways

[Refrain]
Blame and lies, contradictions arise
Blame and lies, contradictions arise

[Bridge 1]
Nobody will change my way
Life betrays, but I keep going
There's no light, but there's hope
Crushing oppression, I win

[Bridge 2]
Betraying and playing dirty, you think you'll win
But someday you'll fall, and I'll be waiting
Laughs of an insane man, you'll hear
Personality is my weapon against your envy

[Verse 1]
Walking these dirty streets
With hate in my mind
Feeling the scorn of the world
I won't follow your rules

[Chorus]
Nonconformity in my inner self
Only I guide my inner self

Sepultura

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.
