 | 01 - .execute. Itappears that we have reached the Edge, that zenith where stimuli andcomatose collide. Forty years ago, THE MAN proclaimed the Age of theGross to be upon us, and even though THE MAN was destroying ourheritage and insulting our intelligence, that era has become very real.We labor for pleasure and abhor the guilt of pressure. My generationwill go down as the architects of contemporary disgust. Some havefought and died. Others have allowed the strong to be butchered for aprice they themselves don’t care about and will never understand. Imyself am beleaguered by the selfish face of a kind of man that is NOTMANKIND. Distrust in information. Fundamentalism of opinion.Catastrophic boredom, and a fanatical devotion to that which DOES NOTMATTER. Where is your glory now, people? Where are your gods andpoliticians? Where is your shame and salvation? You Rage For No ReasonBecause You Have No Reason. WHAT HAVE YOU EVER FOUGHT FOR? WHAT HAVEYOU EVER BLED FOR? THE FACE OF THE EARTH IS SCARRED WITH THE WALKINGDEAD. THE AGE OF THE GROSS IS A LIVING VIRUS. THIS IS THE FUTURE YOUHAVE CREATED. THIS IS THE WORLD YOU HAVE SET ABLAZE. ALL YOUR LIES ARE COMING TRUE. ALL FREEDOM IS LOST. ALL HOPE IS GONE. 12/08/73 - that was all I got and now you got me All I ever really wanted was to take the blame I will go down in History and not down in Flames Meningitis / I will survive this / Dry Sockets and a Schizophrenic Crisis The Time of The Nine has begun Get out of the way or you will suffer as one This is so TYPICAL / APOCALYPTICAL Hanging on abysmal release / Jesus I don’t need this / Don’t wanna be this Icon in the Making / My hands are fucking shaking WHAT IF GOD DOESN’T CARE?

My Guilt and My Shame always sell me short - always feel the same And My Face and My Soul always wear me thin - always under control But the longest hours you’ll have in your life Are the ones you sit through to know if you’re right So I’ll wait, but I pray that I’m wrong Because I think I know what’s going on So Let Me Get This Straight… the only will is my own I do whatever I want and stay alone All my decisions make it untouchable and tainted I’m gonna suffer for the rest of my life But I will always find a way to survive I’m not a failure, but I know what it’s like I can take it or leave it… or die STAY - You don’t always know where you stand ‘Til you know that you won’t run away There’s something inside me that feels Like Breathing in Sulfur… My Life is undone - and I’m a sinner to most but a sage to some And my Gods are Untrue - I’m probably wrong, but I’m better than you And the longest hours I’ve had in my life Were the ones I went through to know I was right So I’m safe, but I’m a little outside I’m gonna laugh when I’m buried alive STAY - You don’t always know where you stand ‘Til you know that you won’t run away There’s something inside me that feels Like Breathing in Sulfur… LIKE BREATHING IN SULFUR STAY - You don’t always know where you stand ‘Til you know that you won’t run away There’s something inside me that feels Like Breathing in Sulfur… LIKE BREATHING IN SULFUR Sittingin the dark, I can’t forget.

Well, I would rather die At least I’d know I wasn’t theirs to create This is yours, but you had better choose Before they take away your right to decide I guess I’ll never believe in fuckin’ anything But my solace is I CAN HANDLE EVERYTHING THE ENDING’S THE SAME / THE WORLD WILL NOT CHANGE THE ANSWER IS CLEAR… OBLITERATION I won’t control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I’m STRONGER BETTER They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I’m STRONGER BETTER I won’t control or restrain things I do not understand Now I realize I’m STRONGER BETTER They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had Now I realize I’m STRONGER BETTER MORE WE HAVE TO SAVE OURSELVES Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again… So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know. My heart is just too dark to care. I can’t destroy what isn’t there. Deliver me into my Fate - If I’m alone I cannot hate I don’t deserve to have you… My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn’t face a life without your light But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear. You couldn’t hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren’t my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end. I never claimed to be a Saint... My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go So Break Yourself Against My Stones And Spit Your Pity In My Soul You Never Needed Any Help You Sold Me Out To Save Yourself And I Won’t Listen To Your Shame You Ran Away - You’re All The Same Angels Lie To Keep Control… My Love Was Punished Long Ago If You Still Care, Don’t Ever Let Me Know If you still care, don’t ever let me know... The State of the Nation / VIOLATION / a broken promise is as good as a LIE The Hell is Humongous / The Devil’s among us And we will BURN if we won’t unite What are we conceding for our freedom? Why does anybody think we need ‘em? I would rather FIGHT than let another DIE We’re the Problem, but we’re also the Solution… ALL HOPE IS GONE If you want it, come and TAKE-IT-FROM-ME If you think you can, you STILL-DON’T-KNOW-ME Let me tell you man I SAID IT / I MEANT IT And I will always have the right to defend it 50 SECONDS / 100 MURDERS / The Bill of Rights is a bill of sale What will you do when your war is over? What will you do when your system fails? WE HAVE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED? WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE WE HAVE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED? WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE The Wretched are the Wounded / The Hungry starve to death In a place where no one goes, the air itself is a final breath So discontinue the Antiseptic Care Charade As a cry of justice comes, a malignant fire fades I am the Reason your Future suffers / I am the Hatred you won’t embrace I am the Worm of a pure gestation / I am the Remedy - SPIT IN MY FACE All your laws and rules are outdated All your subjects are killing the kings I could rattle off a million other reasons why But does it matter when the only thing we love will die? WE HAVE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED? WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE WE’VE MADE THE PRESENT OBSOLETE WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU NEED? WE’LL FIND A WAY… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE WE’VE SEEN THE FALL OF THE ELITE BURY YOUR LIFE / TAKE YOUR DISEASE WE’LL END THE WORLD… WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE WHEN ALL HOPE IS GONE |
V roce 1986 ve skupine se objevuje nový kytarista Andreas Kisser který vystřídal Tormentora. V tu dobu autorská práva na desku "Morbid Vision" koupila nezávislá americká firma "Shark" a vydala desku ve Spojených Státech... byl to obrovský úspěch! Pak přišla smlouva na novou desku "Shizophrenia".Prodej byl zahájen v roce 1987. V Europě se prodalo více než 30 000kusů(!), ale Sepultura nedostála vůbec žádné peníze za autorská práva."Shizophrenia" se trochu lišila od předchozích desek což vyvolalo zájemo skupinu. Také popularitě pomohl brazilský původ. O "Sepulture" sezačalo mluvit.
Jako vždy důvodem se staly hádky a vzajemné nechápání ve skupině.Armáda fanoušků byla silně sklamaná a nikdo už nevěřil v návratSepultury. Pro některé fandové, například v Brazílii Sepultura je vícnež skupina, je to něco jako ideologie... Ale chlapi našly způsobvzpamatovat se, najít nového zpěváka kterým se stal Derrick Green z USA. A v roce 1998 nahrává moji oblíbenou "Against".Přez to ze začátku oni ani nevěděly jestly se vůbec budou jmenovatSepultura, ale po nahrání několika skladeb všechny se rozhodly že nováhudba nejde v rozpor s tou dřívější a název si ponechaly.
Protože "Against" je moje oblíbená deska [dnešní Sepultury], tak vám o ni povím něco více.
"Nation" - albo z roku 2001 přitahuje další tisícovky fanoušků a Sepultura se zase dostává na vrcholy chartu a hit-parad.
