SEPULTURA LYRICS

1. Intro

2. From The Past Comes The Storms

The sky throws up storms trying to avenge itself
You feel a pain that burns your flesh
Your reflection inside the mirror
Shows a past soiled by the blood of innocents
The human greed will be their own destruction
The apes in their cages surrounded by thorns
That are forcing us to live here

I feel an urge to melt and go through cracks
To vanish like a fossil that will be found
Flying on the universe
Brains of armed lives hidden in pits
It's a fight of dwarves strengthening the giants
They are sons of the same father, fruit of the same mother
All of them cry together in despair

But what's heard is only the buzz of flies
Over the rotten flesh
There's no more safe ground to be on
Everybody around you reflects an image
Distorted and wounded
I can hear the cry of a million souls
That have been already marked by their deaths
While the laughs of satisfaction echo endlessly...

Insanity - laceraring the last sanity
Endlessly - still remains on minds
Lunacy - masses smashed by a holy shit
No regret - from the past comes the storms

The sky throws up storms trying to avenge itself
You feel a pain that burns your flesh
Your reflection inside the mirror
Shows a past soiled by the blood of innocents
The human greed will be their own destruction
The apes in their cages surrounded by thorns
That are forcing us to live here

3. To The Wall

To the wall - claims the soldier
My last steps march to the dead
Last wills! Hell! This is idiotism
Fuck off to me, fuck off to all of you

To the death - I raise my head
My last moments - it's my existing countdown
A cry for mercy trapped in my throat
But even in hell there's a place for cowards

The burning sun over my head
The troop is comin' - compassion I dismiss
Sentence of death pounding on my back
There's no hiding when you're thrown against the wall

To paradise, the priest is saying... blessing my death
He's standing in front of me... his merciful sight sickens me
He says that soon I'll have my judgement...
I'll kneel down in front of the Lord

And he asks me to regret my sins.. but it's too late
Growling words from the bible... raising my agony
Oh God!... how I'd like to have my hands untied

The wall I'm facing now
Seeing my life going through my eyes
Feeling death behind my back
An acrid taste of defeat tormenting my last years
And when I feel my body being... Punched... Smashed
There's no pain... just silence
My last breath echoing... spreading through the air
My body in pieces.. a stream of blood...

Bloody drops whipping the wall
The silent wall that has understood my silence
The silence that was a prisoner of my soul
Is my soul that now is the ruler of the world

To the wall

4. Escape To The Void

The pest in the eyes of death follows us
Through the dirty streets of blood
It begins to eat inside us, decaying our bones
How will we escape if the void covers our lungs?
We are buried in the spewed trash for ourselves

Blood, pain - nothing to say
Why then - must we die?

Escape to the void
Escape to the void

I look at my face on the other side of the mirror
My face falls down in pieces full of worms
I burst my rotten heart with my own hands
I'm dying and I can't help myself

Blood, pain - nothing to say
Why then - must we die?

What have I been running from?
I'm not guilty
You've shown me the worst way
Cause you're my victim... the next one

The pest in the eyes of death follows us
Through the dirty streets of blood
It begins to eat inside us, decaying our bones
How will we escape if the void covers our lungs?
We are buried in the spewed trash for ourselves

Blood, pain - nothing to say
Why then - must we die?

Escape to the void
Escape to the void

5. Inquisition Symphony

[Instrumental]

6. Screams Behind The Shadows

Death comes from the unknown
Darkened by its own existence
The end no longer exists when the spirit leaves the body
Phenomenon that mankind would rather forgot

Shadows and cries
Are found together trapped inside the world
Hateful was your life in the past
To torment someone is your present destiny

I feel pleasure seeing your agony
It burst my insane subconscious
From life I took nothin' but insults
From death I got irrational pleasure

Is it possible to feel satisfied after death?
Yeah, life has marked you with despair and takedown
Death welcomes you as a seed lost in oblivion
As a bastard son the world has rejected

Life betrays you on each step
On each body that faces you

On each soul that meets you
On each tomb that is closed

7. Septic Schizo

At the time of my last pain
I scream, so I can run away
What I see in front of me
Is only the reflection of my insanity

Throwing me to the present
Alone almost is despair
My head throws itself against the wall
Making my blood flow free of me
To be born again, it'll be a sad destiny
To seek death when it's inside of myself
I throw up trying to put it out
I try to sleep sitting on the cold ground

Reminders from the past
Repulsion of the present
Fear of the future
Septic Schizo [X3]

Stained by blood on the face
I see that my life goes by in front of me
As an old movie, I feel not proud of anything
I've done
I scorn myself with anguish

My nerves are blowing
Inside of me my skin burns
I sink my toes on the ground
I wanna quit; but I don't wanna enter another place

I'm marked and wounded, the decaying of my throughts
The rotten smell on my skin
The cold body, thrown and forgotten
I can see the things, but I'm blinded to the world...

8. The Abyss

[Instrumental]

9. R.I.P. (Rest In Pain)

Fast death, disenchanted by life
Marked by envy and scorn
Show to the world his mortal hate
Die with regret
There's no light and there's no air
The rose's smell corrodes me
A deep agony possesses me
To be forgotten under a burial

Rest in pain
Rest in pain
Rest in pain

You wake up lying on wet ground
Worms corrode your flesh
Pick up your own eyes
Watch your septic end
To shout at someone and not to be heard
The silence supports the paranoia
To die crying, this is my fate
The life I choose

Schizophrenia
Paranoia
Insane death
Rest in pain

Fast death, disenchanted by life
Marked by envy and scorn
Show to the world his mortal hate
Die with regret
There's no light and there's no air
The rose's smell corrodes me
A deep agony possesses me
To be forgotten under a burial

Rest in pain
Rest in pain

10. Troops Of Doom

[CD Bonus Only]

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

Catastrophe and destruction
Mankind is slaughtered without mercy
Suphul clouds are in the air
Legions winds corrose the universe

The messiahs, redeemers of mankind
Chained in the valley of Hades
Crowds blinded by evil
Only death is real
