Soulfly Album

Fighting for your soul
Defending what is yours
Arm in arms, I and I and All
Fire is within
Bleed for your belief
Come on and bleed with me

Chuan-Tzu" Rules of war
A warrior is reborn
3,000 years before
Not, we won't give up
Not, we won't back up
And we'll never let go

Destroy'em down
Destroy'em all

Fighting for your soul
Defending what is yours
Arm in arms, I and I and all
Fire is within
Bleed for your belief
Come on and bleed with me

Destroy'em down
Destroy'em all

Now...
Frustration turning, turning around
Stomping the feet, moving the ground
All the barriers unbound
Unexplained, it can't be found

Now...
Motivation comes from beyond
Purity like the unborn
Riding the storms
The storms

Enterfaith
Deeper and deeper in every way
Enterfaith
Penetrates the wound again
Enterfaith
Deep and deeper everyday
Enterfaith
Penetrates the wound again

Now...
It's not what you see, it's what you feel
You can not explain, but it's so real
This is our fate, no one can kill
From birth, this has been sealed

Now...
Forever and ever without an end
Follow your heart, never pretend
The last will be first, it has been said
So I say

Enterfaith
Deeper and deeper in every way
Enterfaith
Penetrates the wound again
Enterfaith
Deep and deeper everyday
Enterfaith
Penetrates the wound again

Faith...On and on
Faith...To carry on
Faith...No transgression
Faith...Is a weapon

Faith is a weapon

Namaste

Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law
Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law

One
One soul
One heart
One man
ONe truth
One tribe
One life
One god

Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law
Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law

Embrace one feeling left inside
The more we breathe
The more it takes my breath away
Everything you do
Everything in you
Everything you do and say
Doesn't wash it all away

Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law
Come around, come around
Prdatory jungle law

One
One fate
One rise
One sky
One breed
One pain
One Light
One fire

Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law
Come around, come around
Prdatory jungle law

Embrace one feeling left inside
The more we breathe
The more it takes my breath away
Everything you do
Everything in you
Everything you do and say
Doesn't wash it all away

Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law
Come around, come around
Predatory jungle law

No follow no trends
We know you are too fake
The song remains insane
And we are here to stay
Against all odds we go
Follow out hearts and soul
We'll take you to the unknown
Our message to the world...

Last of the Mohicans

Out tribe spreads everywhere
"Sell-Out" I say fuck that
You better show respect
'Cause we're not like the rest
The rhythm and the rage
The blood spills on the stage
Oh god give me the strength
And guide us till the end...

My pain is as deep as my roots
The yearning, the Hurting
What am I to do?
Indeed I plant seeds for the path I wald
And my voice helps them grow like water
When I talk but i'm hurting y'all
You didn't die in vain, your thought
With me remains and your soul gives me
Strength to face another day
Without you

In this tree of pain
In this tree of pain
In this tree of pain
Till the day I see you again...

Again
Under this tree of pain
Where we carved our names
Forever to remain

This pain
No one can understand
You know we can't pretend
That everything's ok

Bleeding...Screaming

I touch your grave
I kiss your face
This pain is more than I can take
I punch your grave
I call your name
This pain is more than I can take

Again
I find myself again
Under the tree of pain
Where we carved our names

Why then
Leace without goodbye
Just tears in my eyes
And the love you left inside

Bleeding...Screaming

I touch your grave
I kiss your face
This pain is more than I can take
I punch your grave
I call you name
This pain is more than I can take

For D-Low

Everyday that I pray
Why'd thay take his life away?
This pain, it hurts me so bad
All the days that I never had
All I have, my god
Is this tree of pain
All I have, my god
Is this tree of pain
Carved my name, my god
In this tree of pain
Carved my name, my god
In this tree of pain
Dana...One minute's all I need
Dana...To heal the things that bleed

[Originally performed by Sacred Reich]

A vision of unselfishness, a union of black and white
One nation of all races, it's clear within my sight
I see it clear, no hate, no fear, no soldiers sent to die
A state that's free and thrives on peace, no greed, no threat to life

We won't build the weapons of war which looms over your heads We'll not feed the
war machines that lead our youth to death
We won't close our eyes to the atrocities which abound

We won't stand and watch until we're six feet underground

The future is our burden, we can't stand and watch
As the world around crumbles, opposing armies march
We work towards our goal: one nation - unity
And you must be the convert who works towards world peace

Muthafuckers around us who stand and say no way
Opposing lessened armies, they say are here to stay
But no one knows until we try, what we all can do
I won't watch children die, it's up to me and you

Our world is divided, the boundaries have been drawn
Ideas are decided by where you have been born
You can't judge people by the government of their land
They're flesh and blood like us - why don't you understand?

The future is our burden, we can't stand and watch
As the world around crumbles, opposing armies march
We work towards our goal: one nation - unity
And you must be the convert who works towards world peace

[No lyrics]

All your beliefs filled up with lies
Blinded from what you call prophets
Your Jihad's a joke, revenge is our fight
We'll crush the Al Quaeda to stop it

Drop the bombs in...
Drop the bombs in...
Wipe out your muthafucking schemes
Bring the troops in...
Bring the troops in...
Wipe out your minority

World has united to weed out the scum
Our people have all took a stand
We're tired of your bullshit, the actions of few
That threaten the future of man

Drop the bombs in...
Drop the bombs in...
Wipe out your muthafucking schemes
Dig the roots out...
Dig the roots out...
Your holy war is nothing to be proud

A call to arms
This call for pride
You can never take from what we feel inside
All our strength
Is in our hearts
This is our call to arms...

I can't wait for another day
I can't fake, I can't pretend
I can't stand and watch you say
These things you don't understand

I can't wait till I get the chance
Looking down, staring in your face
Motherfuckers rip off my name
And pretend on your bullshit fame

I'll bring da shit
I'll throwdown
I'll make you bleed

I can't wait here comes the hate
Whatcha gonna do without your fame?
You don't bith the hands that feeds ya
You're going down, no money can save ya

I'll bring da shit
I'll throwdown
I'll make you bleed

Heart, fist, soul, mind
Heart, fist, soul, mind
Heart, fist, soul, mind
Heart, fist, soul, mind

[Blood From The Bairro]

Bezouro, Moderno, Ezequiel,
Candeeiro, Ceca Preta, Labareda,
Azulão, Arvoredo, Quina-Quina,
Banananeira, Sabonete, Catingueira,
Limoeiro, Laparina, Mergulhão, Corisco!
Volta Seca, Jararaca, Cajarana, Viriato,
Gitirana, Moita-Brava, Meia Noite, Zabele!

[These are the names of the members of Lampiao's gang!]
[They were outlaw rebels that would steal from the rich and give to the poor]
[(like a Brasilian Robin Hood).]
[When they were captured,]
[their heads were decapitated and displayed in the square of the city of Recife,
Pernambuco.]

Quando degolaram minha cabeça
Passei mais de dois segundos
Vendo meu corpo tremendo
E não sabia o que fazer
Morrer, viver, morrer, viver

[Translation:]
When they cut off my head
For more than two seconds
I watch my body shake
And I didn't know what to do
To die, to live, to die, to live

I am what I create
Believing in my fate
Integrity is my name
All that I am doing
Can never be ruined
My song remains insane

Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye, For An Eye, For An Eye

Fuck

Got to watch my back
Got to let my heart
Believe one day I'll fly...
To reunite the tribe
To find a better way
Fucking envy changes everything

Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye, For An Eye, For An Eye

I hit the bottom
You don't understand
Pain...hate...pain...
To be born again
Arise again
I believe is the only way...

Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye, For An Eye, For An Eye

I will refuse!
Born as a blank page
We must pick and choose
Our destinations and
The paths we'll use
What shall we say is sacred
Waht will be abused
It is no wonder
The world is so confused
Murder and weather
Is our only news
I will refuse!

Your offer is tempting
But it's not what it seems
You take advantage
Of everyone else's dreams
You create the perfect picture
By dressing up the scene
Trust our hopes and lives
To your death machines
Your point is not well taken
Because that's not what it means
I will refuse!

I will refuse!
Born as a blank page
We must pick and choose
Murder and weather
Is our only news
I will refuse!

[w/ Chino Moreno (Deftones)]

Speak up - you know what is up
Code of silence?! Who set you up?!
Some shit so wrong in this world
It's all fucked up now you're gone
Speak up - you know what went on
How could you let it go?
It's murder you covered up
Stained blood on your soul
Down on my knees
Hands stretched to heaven above
Christ this pain is hard to live with
Don't fill my heart with love
Engulf my heart with vengeance
You need to see our pain
Don't fill this heart with love
The truth needs to be told

You can't mask
Pain
My pain
Our pain
You can't mask
Pain
My pain
Our pain

"Fuck you...

[No lyrics]

Well I don't want no hypocrite [to] tell me what [it's] all about
No parasite telling me to cast my soul out
Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in your peace
I've opened the door now; my mind has been released

I don't want nobody to tell me about the god in the sky
No-one tells me where I'm gonna go when I die
I want to live my life; I don't want people telling me what to do
I believe in myself, 'cause no one else is true

Um, Dois, Tres, Quatro

Every day just comes and goes
Life is one damn overdose
People try to ruin it
I can see through their frustration

People hiding their real face
Keep on running their rat race
The ante is risen once a week
In their world of make-believe

Believe what I tell you, it's the only way you ever find out
Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn't have to pretend
Don't let those empty people interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind
