A bloody revolution in the name and the love of Christ
Sadistic pedophile, abusers of lies and lust
The power of the church over men's intellect
A story of sacred swords, the darkest age of mankind

Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!
Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!

Alexander VI, Boniface VIII
Pius IX
John XXIII, Damasus I
Pius XII

Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!
Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!

A disgrace to the chair of Peter, in the ways of violent deaths
Banquets and evil orgies in the heart the evil see
Indulgence from the bank for the works of religion
Conspiracies and corruption are leading us to the end

Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!
Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!

Alexander VI, Boniface VIII
Pius IX
John XXIII, Damasus I
Pius XII

Crusaders, the knights of sacrifice
Purveyors, the death of change
Crusaders, the knights of sacrifice
Dictators of change

Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!
Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!
Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!
Reign of dark skies, walls of death and silence!

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.
