Arise/Dead Embryonic Cells

Sepultura · Live In São Paulo [2005]

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



---------Dead Embryonic Cells-----------



Land of anger,

I didn't ask to be born,

Sadness, 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,

Sadness, 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.
