Quem sou eu? Não interessa!
Como também não interessa quem é você!
Interessa é saber o que somos...a vida ou a morte!
Coragem ou medo...em resumo o que procuras?
O paraíso ou o inferno?

O que é mais violento?
Os animais?A força da natureza? Não!
É o aprisionamento da liberdade de expressão
Sentir, ouvir e não poder falar

De que servem as regras, burocracia, sistema e leis
Se o carrasco do poder degola a nossa cultura?

Ahhh você não se importa com o destino do mundo
És corajoso demais, então por que temes diante do caixão?
Seu melhor amigo evita a Sepultura
Sua certa e última morada

Temes a batalha do Armagedon, a ira do Oligatan
O Apocalipse final, mas por que esse temor
Se pasaste por todos os prazeres terrenos
Os sete pecados capitais e todas as aberraçžes sexuais

Hmmm porque está ciente de que não existe o terror
No entanto o terror o aprisiona
Mas o que é o terror?
Hahaha não aceita o terror porque o terror é voces!!

Translation:

Who am I? It doesn't matter!
Just as it doesn't matter who you are
What matters is to know WHAT we are...life or death
Courage or fear...shortly: what dost thou seek?
Paradise or HELL?

What is more violent?
The animals? The force of nature? NO!
It's the imprisonment of the freedom of speech:
To feel, to hear, unable to speak

What good are the rules, bureaucracy, systems and laws
If the executioner of power decapitates our culture?

Ahhh, you don't care about the fate of the world
How brave you are!
Then why do you fear the coffin?
Your best friend avoids the GRAVE (Sepultura)
His last and certain home

Ah, you fear the battle of Armageddon, the wrath of Oligathan, the final Apocalypse
But why this fear
If you've been through all earthly pleasures
The seven deadly sins and all the sexual aberrations?

Hmmm, because you're sure that terror doesn't exist
HOWEVER, terror imprisons you
But what is terror? AHAHAHAHA!
You won't accept terror because terror is YOU!

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.
