the SovieT
17th July 2003, 20:35
Sepultura, a brazilian band who started from a garage band and ater wouyld be presented with the title "third world embassador" it was a long way and many glorious moments for a band in the long history of hte perhaps most humble and popular deahtmetal band in the world..

even thoiugh theyr style is(more of was) consider death methal theyr lyrics (expecially the new ones) drift from what should be a regular death metal band

i leave you with some of theyr best lyrics (notice some of theyr best musics are instrumental like Ratamahatta) :

PROPAGANDA
Why don’t you get a life and grow up
Why don’t you realize that you’re fucked up
Why criticize what you don’t understand
Why change my words, you’re so afraid

You think you have the right to
Put me down
Propaganda hides your scum
Face to face you don’t have a word to say
You got in my way, now you’ll have to pay

Don’t, don’t believe what you
See
Don’t, don’t believe what you read
No!!!

I know my ways, I’m here to stay
I didn’t start all this yesterday
I’ll prove you wrong all the way
Life teaches me you’re always alone

Don’t, don’t believe what you
See
Don’t, don’t believe what you read
No!!!

SLAVE NEW WORLD
Face-the enemy
Stare-inside you
Control-your thoughts
Destroy-destroy ’em all

You censor what we breathe
Prejudice with no beliefe
Senseless violence all around
Who is it that keeps us down

Once all free tribes
Chained down led lives
Blood boils inside me
We’re not slaves, we’re free

Face-the enemy
Stare-inside you
Control-your thoughts
Destroy-destroy ’em all


AMEN
Forgive me father
Forgive me god
I know I’ve sinned
With no remorse
Apocalyptic visions
Went through my head
Here today
Gone tomorrow
It’s all insane
I’m feeling sick
I’m feeling numb
The storm will come
In the name of god
I’m the chosen one

Terror raids the land
To ashes we’ll be sent
In the name of god
Lives cast away

Martyrdom of myself
Armageddon comes
In the name of god
Not one more dead

Fire blasting, cutting edge
Children burn in flames
In the name of god
We’re going insane

Let us die
You don’t realize
This is the time
God’s sacrifice

Leaving behind
Lesson in hate
In the name of god
We’re all dead

Burn!



BIOTECH IS GODZILLA
Rio summit, ’92
Street people kidnapped
Hid from view
’to save the earth’
Our rulers met
Some had other
Secret plans

No...no...no...no...

Biotech
Biotech
Biotech
Say what?

Strip-mine the amazon
Of cells of life itself
Gold rush for genes is on
Natives get nothing

Biotech
Biotech
Biotech
Is godzilla

Mutations cooked in labs
Money-mad experiments
New food + medicine?
New germs + accidents!
Like cubatao
’world’s most polluted town’
Air-melts your face
Deformed children all around

Bio-technology
Ain’t what’s so bad
Like all technology
It’s in the wrong hands

Cut-throat corporations
Don’t give a damn
When lots of people die
]from what they’ve made

Biotech
Biotech
Biotech
Is a.i.d.s.?

Stop!!!

NOMAD
Travelling through the time
Moving slowly in the sand
Knowledge is the weapon
Against the hunger in the land

Solitude met herself
Lessons from the primal step
Memories from an ending life
Liars can’t stop the tribes

Chorus
Nomad
Nomad
Nomad
Nomad

Brother is the son of rape
The blood that once unites
Wanna choose the way they die
Look inside their minds

(echoes in the)
Actual tribe no longer sounds
The ancient teachings failed
Movement of my culture
My beliefs have no more tales

Who are you to criticize
To judge and burn the tribes
The world will be extinct
And your flesh will rot with mine


MURDER
Chaotic violence in my eyes
This whole world moves backwards
Peace, another sign that lies
Life today is not worth the pain

On the radio, another homicide
Inmates suffocate in jail
Severed heads of revolt
I wish I’d never been born

Same hand that builds -- destroys
Same hand that relieves -- betrays
Same hand that seeds -- burns
Same peace that exists -- here lies

I can’t trust anymore
Criminals within the law
I have something to say
Where I live, don’t believe in another day

Heresy and graft
Apartheid
Same religion that saves -- damns you!


DICTATORSHIT

1964
Coup d’etat
Military force
Hundreds dead

Why did they disappear ?
Dictatorshit
Why did they disappear ?
Dictatorshit
...

1995
Spirit still alive
We still hear the cry
From the one that survived !!

Why did they disappear ?
Dictatorshit
Why did they disappear ?
Dictatorshit

ROOTS BLOODY ROOTS
Roots bloody roots
Roots bloody roots
Roots bloody roots
Roots bloody roooaaaaaahh

I
Believe in our fate
We don’t need to fake
It’s all we wanna be
Watch me freeeaaak !!

I say
We’re growing every day
Getting stronger in every way
I’ll take you to a place
Where we shall find our

Roots bloody roots
Roots bloody roots
Roots bloody roots
Roots bloody roots

Rain
Bring me the strength
Is breeding me this way
To get to another day
And all I want to see
Set us free

Why
Can’t you see
Can’t you feel
This is real
Ahhh

I pray
We don’t need to change
Our ways to be saved
That all we wanna be
Watch us freak

HUNGRY
Rotting skinny corpses left alone
They’re like and endless disease
Invisible, painful, eternal
Creatures fucked by a greedy past
Since you were born
You want to make money and power
A simple fuel to the corrupt
Way of mankind
Hungry for living, to live like a slave
Without knowing your master
You have no value, your just another one
Death will quench your hunger
Hunger for confidence
To shake the hand of your best friend
And later to be betrayed
The law rules the mind of ignorance
Hungry for pleasure
You act like a robot
The tears in your eyes
As red as blood
Your pleasure is pain
Your pleasure is torture
Hunger is your pleasure
Hungry for the future


ANTI-COP
Police sucks
Fucking fags
Cops in my house
Cops in the bus

Kill some cops
Fuck them up
All the cops
Fucking die

I hate cops
Shit for brains
Stick your gun
Up your fuckin ass !!!
(notice Brazil has the perhaps most violent and corrupt police in the world... it is even worse than the north american cops, more racists, more violent and much more corrupt)


POLICIA
They say it exists to help
They say it exists to protect
I know it can stop you
I know it can arrest you

Police for who need
Police for who need police
Police for who need
Police for who need police

They tell you to obey them!
They tell you to collaborate with them!
They tell you: take the asshole!
They tell you: son of the *****!

Police for who need
Police for who need police
Police for who need
Police for who need police

i dont think i have heard Sepultura but I have heard Soulfly, do they sound pretty much the same, I am thinking of picking up Sepultura's Roots album.

the SovieT
18th July 2003, 01:38
yes Soulfly were created after Max Cavalera (Igor Cavalera´s brother, who is the actual sepultura baterist) drifted apart from Sepultura and created his own band..

but i would say that evben though soulfly have a somewhat bether music, theyr muhc more comercial and almost arent political aware..

Igor is the guy when its up to politics :D

I like the lyrics to "Territory", though I can't find them right now.

Man the Album BLOOD ROOted was a real ass kicker!
Hail The Sepulnation!

here it is El Brujo:

TERRITORY
Unknown man
Speaks to the world
Sucking your trust
A trap in every world

Chorus
War for territory
War for territory

Choice control
Behind propaganda
Poor information
To manage your anger

Chorus

Dictators’ speech
Blasting off your life
Rule to kill the urge
Dumb assholes’ speech

Years of fighting
Teaching my son
To believe in that man
Racist human being
Racist ground will live
Shame and regret
Of the pride
You’ve once possessed

I must say I have recently been inclined into listening to some Sepultura and I think I like them:D

18th July 2003, 23:30
ofcourse..

everybody loves Sepultura...

Sepultura is one of the best metal bands. But I think that this band started to decline when Max has left.
The record Under A Pale Grey Sky is awesome. It's recorded live and it's fucking great.

Non-Sectarian Bastard!
22nd July 2003, 16:30
It's nice to see that there are more Sepultura fans. I tought I was the only one on the board :D

They truly rock, too bad their site isn't that political. But they rock..

They also did some very cool songs with Japanese drummers andso.

I am now listening Kaiowas, it's really relaxt.

Edit: Also listen to Desperate Cry

Almost forgot Arise it's a piece of speedmetal and speedmetal roels :D
