3. Orgasmatron
I am the one Orgasmatron
the oustreched grasping hand
my image is of agony
my servants rape the land
obsequious and arrogance
clandestine and pain
two thousend years of misery
of torture in my name
hypocrisy made paramount
paranoia the law
my name is called religion
sadistic
sacred
whore
I twist the truth
I rule the world
my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies
you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you
your downfall is my gain
and still you play the sycophant
and rebel in your pain
and all my promises are lies
all my love is hate
I am the politician
and I decide your fate
I march before a martiant world
an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days
of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood
I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny
I lead you to your grave
your bones will build my palaces
your eyes will stud my crown
for I am mars the god of war
and I will cut you down
4. Dead Embryonic Cells (Original Mix)
[Lyrics: Max]
LAND OF ANGER
I DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN
SADNES, SORROW
EVERYTHING SO ALONE
LABORATORY SICKNESS
INFECTS HUMANITY
NO HOPE FOR CURE
DIE BY TECHNOLOGY
A WORLD FULL OF SHIT COMING DOWN
TRIBAL VIOLENCE EVERYWHERE
LIFE IN THE AGE OF TERRORISM
WE SPIT IN YOUR OTHER FACE
WAR OF RACES
WORLD WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE
A PLACE CONSUMED BY TIME
END OF IT ALL
WE'RE BORN
WITH PAIN
NO MORE
WE'RE DEAD
EMBRYONIC CELLS
CORROSION INSIDE - WE FEEL
CONDEMNED FUTURE - WE SEE
EMPTINESS CALLS - WE HEAR
FINAL PREMONITION - THE TRUTH
LAND OF ANGER
I DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN
SADNES, SORROW
EVERYTHING SO ALONE
LABORATORY SICKNESS
INFECTS HUMANITY
NO HOPE FOR CURE
DIE BY TECHNOLOGY
WE'RE BORN WITH PAIN
SUFFER REMAINS
WE'RE BORN WITH PAIN
SUFFER REMAINS
WE'RE DEAD
5. Desperate Cry (Original Mix)
[Lyrics: Andreas]
SACRIFICE IS PLEASURE
WHEN LIFE ENDS IN PAIN
CONCEIVE THE LAST MISTAKE
WHICH BELONGS TO ALL
CREATION OF INSANE RULE
ALL WE HEAR:
DESPERATE CRY
DEATH THE COLDEST WIND
SEEPS INTO YOUR PORES
A NATION BORN OF HATE
FORGOTTEN DISTANT TIME
CREATION OF INSANE RULE
ALL WE HEAR:
DESPERATE CRY
ENDLESS EMPTY MAZE
DESPAIR, DISTRESS AND SILENCE
A POISON VACUUM, INFINITY
LIFE, LIES, DECEIT
MUTE SOULS END IN SILENCE
OCEANS TAINTED WITH BLOOD
EMPTY PROMISES OF HOPE
BURIED DEEP, INFECTED GROUND
CREATION OF INSANE RULE
ALL WE HEAR:
DESPERATE CRY
CRY!
6. Murder (Original Mix)
[Lyrics: Max]
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!
7. Under Siege (Regnum Irae) (Original Mix)
[Lyrics: Max]
THE DUAL SUBSTANCE OF CHRIST
THE YEARNING SO HUMAN
OF MAN TO ATTAIN GOD
HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DEEP
INSCRUTABLE MYSTERY TO ME
MY PRINCIPLE ANGUISH AND SOURCE
OF ALL MY JOYS AND SORROWS
RELIGION DOMAIN IS ALL I SEE
SUFFOCATE THE SCUM WITH MEDIOCRITY
LYING AND CHANGING YOUR FATE
ANNO DOMINI ENDS - MISERY
FROM MY YOUTH ONWARD
HAS BEEN THE INCESSANT
MERCILESS BATTLE BETWEEN
THE SPIRIT AND THE FLESH
AND MY SOUL IS THE ARENA
WHERE THESE TWO ARMIES
HAVE CLASHED AND MET
HOLY WARS UNLEASHING BLOODY RAIDS
THE SACRED EARTH WITHOUT A FACE
CONSUMED BY MURDEROUS SINNERS
PSYCHOTIC LEADER
INSANE-INSANE-INSANE-INSANE!
LIVING IN A DYING AGE
PERSECUTE THE HUMAN RACE
TRIUMPH OF DEATH IN THE WASTELAND
BLOOD SIGNS YOUR EPITAPH
RELIGION DOMAIN IS ALL I SEE
SUFFOCATE THE SCUM WITH MEDIOCRITY
LYING AND CHANGING YOUR FATE
ANNO DOMINI ENDS - MISERY
8. Necromancer
[demo version]
The misfits high
In this night
Can feel the presence of death
Way to the
Mortuary
So the dead's will invoke
Corpses and skulls
In my countour
See a corpse blood
With the face
In cruciform
Now begins for the wrath
Catch the skulls
Of a children
Frozen and dismal
Coming with me
Creature
Kill in name of Hell
The black mess
Is started
Lifes will terminate
With the wrath
Of the demons
Started the genocide
Wrath
In my corpus is born
Death
Lost legions from Hell
Slaughter
You'll see in sacrifice
Skulls
Are christians with blood
Necromancer
Deads invoker
Necromancer
Deads invoker
Wrath, odious, desire
In my corpus is born
The fates last, terror's spread
For a necros creature of
The crypts
9. The Past Reborns The Storms
[demo version]
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
10. A Hora E A Vez Do Cabelo Nascer
Venha ver as minhas cores
Ah, t? na hora do cabelo nascer
Hasteei o meu cabelo
Ah, para que o sol fique sabendo das coisas
O meu cabelo ? verde e amarelo
Violeta e transparente
A minha caspa ? de purpurina
Minha barba azul anil
[translation:]
The Hour And The Time For Growing Hair (Mutantes)
Come to see my colors
Ah, it's the hour for growing hair
I hoisted my hair
Ah, so that the sun is knowing what's going on
My hair is green and yellow
Violet and transparent
My dandruff is of purpurina*
My navy blue beard
[found by David A. :"I found the lyrics to the song 'A Hora e a Vez do Cabelo]
[Nascer'. This song is actually in Portuguese, but Sepultura covered it in]
[English. translation by Danilo Augusto Dos Santos: *I don't know the English]
[word for "purpurina". "Purpurina" are those silver or purple grains that]
[Brazilian people spread all over their bodies and hair during the Carnival]
[(the crappiest popular party on Earth)*]
11. Drug Me
I don't want to think, give me balls, go with my friends.
Can't come up with anything, my brain needs stimulation.
Drug me, drug me, drug me, drug me.
I'm so fucking tired, got it waiting for us, gotta stay.
T.V. and girls, third world, make more to store.
Drug me, drug me, drug me, look out.
Drug me, natural vitamin C.
Drug me, pharmaceutical speed.
Drug me with your sleeping pills.
Drug me with your crossword puzzles.
Drug me with your magazines.
Drug me with your fuck machines.
All fake, fuck it away.
Finally off of work, another potato-chip weekend.
Go away, go away, go, leave me alone, can't see myself.
Drug me, drug me, drug me.
12. Crucificados Pelo Sistema
Nascer para liberdade
E crescer para morrer
Crucificados pelo sistema
Morrer sem esquecer
O povo que ficou
Crucificados pelo sistema
[Repeat 1st 3 lines]
[Translation (by Christian)]
Born for freedom
And grown up to die
Crucified by the system
Dying without forgetting
the people left behind
crucified by the system
13. Anticop (Live)
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 !!!
[Sepultura & Road Crew 1993]
[First played in Furth/Germany Dec 1993]
14. Intro (Live)
15. Arise (Live)
[Lyrics: Max]
OBSCURED BY THE SUN
APOCALYPTIC CLASH
CITIES FALL IN RUIN
WHY MUST WE DIE?
OBLITERATION OF MANKIND
UNDER A PALE GREY SKY
WE SHALL ARISE...
I DID NOTHING, SAW NOTHING
TERRORIST CONFRONTATION
WAITING FOR THE END
WARTIME CONSPIRACY
I SEE THE WORLD - OLD
I SEE THE WORLD - DEAD
VICTIMS OF WAR, SEEKING SOME SALVATION
LAST WISH, FATALITY
I'VE NO LAND, I'M FROM NOWHERE
ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
FACE THE ENEMY
MANIC THOUGHTS
RELIGIOUS INTERVENTION
PROBLEMS REMAIN
16. Inner Self (Live)
WALKING THESE DIRTY STREETS
WITH HATE IN MY MIND
FEELING THE SCORN OF THE WORLD
I WON'T FOLLOW YOUR RULES
BLAME AND LIES, CONTRADICTIONS ARISE
BLAME AND LIES, CONTRADICTIONS ARISE
NONCONFORMITY IN MY INNER SELF
ONLY I GUIDE MY INNER SELF
I WON'T CHANGE MY WAY
IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY
I LIVE MY LIFE FOR MYSELF
FORGET YOUR FILTHY WAYS
BLAME AND LIES, CONTRADICTIONS ARISE
BLAME AND LIES, CONTRADICTIONS ARISE
NOBODY WILL CHANGE MY WAY
LIFE BETRAYS, BUT I KEEP ON GOING
THERE'S NO LIGHT, BUT THERE'S HOPE
CRUSHING OPPRESSION, I WIN
BETRAYING AND PLAYING DIRTY, YOU THINK YOU'LL WIN
BUT SOMEDAY YOU'LL FALL, AND I'LL BE WAITING
LAUGHS OF AN INSANE MAN, YOU'LL HEAR
PERSONALITY IS MY WEAPON AGAINST YOUR ENVY
WALKING THESE DIRTY STREETS
WITH HATE IN MY MIND
FEELING THE SCORN OF THE WORLD
I WON'T FOLLOW YOUR RULES
NONCONFORMITY IN MY INNER SELF
ONLY I GUIDE MY INNER SELF
17. Mass Hypnosis (Live)
LOOKING INSIDE, YOUR FUTURE UNCERTAIN
THE FEAR GROWS AS A SICKNESS UNCURED
THE SILENCE AGONIZES, THE WORDS SOUND STRONG
LOOK INSIDE THE EYES, LEAVE THIS WORLD
HATE THROUGHT THE ARTERIES
MASS HYPNOSIS
UNCERTAIN OF BEING BACK
THEYU MAKE YOU FEEL SO GOOD
EVERYTHING'S DARKENED
OBEY LIKE A FOOL
HATE THROUGHT THE ARTERIES
MASS HYPNOSIS
SOLDIERS GOING NOWHERE
BELIEVERS KNEELING OVER THEIR SINS
INHUMAN INSTINCT OF COWARDLY LEADERS
MAKE THE WORLD GO THEIR OWN WAY
TENS OF THOUSANDS HYPNOTIZED
TRYING TO FIND A REASON WHY
LOOK INSIDE YOUR EMPTY EYES
OBEY 'TILL THE END
LOOKING INSIDE, YOUR FUTURE UNCERTAIN
THE FEAR GROWS AS A SICKNESS UNCURED
THE SILENCE AGONIZES, THE WORDS SOUND STRONG
LOOK INSIDE THE EYES, LEAVE THIS WORLD
HATE THROUGHT THE ARTERIES
MASS HYPNOSIS
SOLDIERS GOING NOWHERE
SOLDIERS BLINDED BY THEIR FAITH
18. Escape To The Void (Live)
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
19. Troops Of Doom (Live)
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
20. Altered State (Live)
[Lyrics: Andreas]
FEAR IN MY SUBCONSCIOUS
TERROR INVADES MY SPEECH
FAITH IN MY OWN WORDS
NO ONE KNOWS THE NAMELESS
WARM WINDS AND BURNING TEARS
SPIRITS OUTSIDE BODIES
ENDLESS REPRESSION BY MAJORITY
A MASTER WITHOUT COMMAND
STRANGE NEW DIMENSION DISTURBING MY BRAIN
CENSORED IDEAS, COUNTERFEIT ANSWERS
SHINING BLAST, NO PERCEPTION
ALTERED STATE, NO REACTION
SHINING BLAST
ALTERED STATE
SLOW TALK, FAST THOUGHTS
ANCIENT SCRIPTURES
CONTROVERSIAL LINES
KNOWLEDGE CHANGES
RUNNING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
CROSSING WITH BLIND EYES
I'M CLOSER TO MYSELF
SANITY CAN'T INVADE
Lyrics in plain text format
