[Verse 1]
Total eclipse hides the Earth
The night of doom has come
Antichrist soldiers are proclaimed
To send souls to the Hell

[Verse 2]
Catastrophe and destruction
Mankind is slaughtered without mercy
Sulphur clouds are in the air
Legions winds corrode the universe

[Verse 3]
The messiah, redeemers of mankind
Chained in the valley of Hades
Crowds blinded by evil
Only death is real

[Verse 4]
The nuclear war announces the end of the world
The mankind is buried and forgotten
Prophets foresee the doom
They foresee the triumph of your death

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.
