Beneath the Remains / Escape to the Void Songtext
von Sepultura

In the middle of a war that was not started by me
Deep depression of the nuclear remains
I′ve never thought of, I've never thought about this happening to me

Proliferations of ignorance
Orders that stand to destroy
Battlefields and slaughter
Now they mean my home and work

Who has won?
Who has died?

Beneath the remains

Cities in ruins
Bodies packed on minefields
Neurotic game of life and death

Now I can feel the end
Premonition about my final hour
A sad image of everything
Everything′s so real

Who has won?
Who has died?


Everything happened so quickly
I felt I was about to leave Hell
I'll fight for myself, for you
But so what?

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?

Escape to the void
Escape to the void
