Soulfly (1998)



Eye For An Eye

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

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

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

No Hope = No Fear

Whoever told ya you can never be free
Whoever told ya you can't seek out that dream
Whoever told ya you can never be free
Whoever told you that is your enemy you see...

My life is mine, my right is mine
Cause it's my life, you see, not your life
My life is mine, my right is mine
Sometimes you have to lose your mind...

No Hope = No Fear

I won't wait for the next life
The time is now, the time is right
Follow my heart, I'll get through
If you're not now, you never were

So lose yourself to find yourself
Don't need to act like nobody else
Sometimes it feels as if the road is blocked
I'll find a way, I'll move those rocks

Freedom!

Bleed

What goes around comes around
You better realize
You kill life, you kill life
Why??? Why???
I see your eyes, I see your lies
I see you hide, inside...

What goes around comes around
Now it's your time
How long can you lie???
How long can you hide???
How long can you live with your soulbleed???
How long can you live with your soul...

Bleed Bleed Bleed Bleed Bleed Bleed

What goes around comes around
No more lies
You kill life, you kill life
Why??? Why???
I see a mother cry
I see a brother cry

Bring it on
Bring it

I'll make you bleed and you're bleeding now
Muthafucka

I got my pride and that's all I need
I'll make you bleed with another blow without the radio
Don't take advantage of this process
You might have to digest a blade made for your ass to fade
I'm living on instinct
Never think when I'm rushin bones crushin
When I put your sorry ass in a package
You piece of shit sealed and delivered from a savage
And now you sweat because you're goin down
You envious clown fuckin' bleed

Tribe

Bumba

We tha land of carnival and murder
Bring tha drums and the sounding of thunder
Oh my people, we got to get stronger
With the spirit of war in "Quilombos"

Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power

Bring our roots, we're under the sun
From in the jungle and from the slums
Our freedom we bring with this song
Never forget where you came from!

Bumba! Bumba!

"Oxossi" - open my way
I'm gonna tell the world what you say...
I know "God" - making me a way
We pray, we pray everyday...

"Ele � caboclo, ele � flecheiro - Bumba na calunga
� matador de feiticeiro - Bumba na calunga
Ele vai firmar seu ponto - Bumba na calunga
E vai firmar na angola
Bumba na calunga e na f� de Oxala
Bumba na calunga..."
(Ponto de coboclo sete flechas / T.E.P.J. da C.)

[Translation by Marcel]
He is "caboclo" (a kind of race) , he's warrior - Bumba na calunga
He's a wizard killer - Bumba na calunga
He'll stand his place - Bumba na calunga
Do it in Angola
Bumba na calunga and faith at Oxala
Bumba na calunga..."

First Commandment

Murderer - covered in sangre
Murderer - blood on your shoulders

Karma - how does it feel?
Karma - to take a life
Wailin'- wailin' in vein
Wailin' - you'll reap what you sow!!

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill

Lie to yourself - lie to your friends
Now lay and wait you fucking
Rapist - you'll have no redemption
Burn - Burn - Burn muthafuckas

"I might just come after you
I just might come after... but you'll never know...
Broke the first commandment"

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou... face your judgement

Bumbklatt

Grow tha fuck up you waste
Can't you see what it takes
To be a real man
Talking shit all your life
No integrity or pride
Fucking mind full of lies

You fake
You waste
You bumbklaatt...

Now I know why
I turn my back on your life
And watch your envy arise
Now it's been so long
Yeah, you still won't grow up
And you never belong

So fuck you and your friends
I got time for revenge
And you ain't got tomorrow
So fuck you and your friends
Cause they still are the same
And your bullshit remains...

Soulfly

"We sat outside the studio at night, among a few candles, and
closed our eyes for a minute. After that, we jammed straight
from our hearts. We didn't play for ourselves, but for the ones
no longer with us in flesh, but always with us in spirit. God bless.
Until we meet again. Soul fly... fly free!" - Max C.

Umbabarumba

Joga bola joga bola jogador
Joga bola quero jogar bola jogador
Pula, pula, cai, levanta, sobe e desce
Corre, chuta, abre espaco, vibra e agradece
Olha que a cidade toda ficou vazia
Nessa tarde bonita pra te ver jogar

Joga bola jogador
Joga bola corocondo

Um ponta de lanca Africano

Jump, jump, fall, get up, go up and get down
Run, kick, find a hole, thrill and give thanks
See how the whole city empties out
On this beautiful afternoon to watch you play

"This is the story of Umbabarauma
An African point man
A point man whose mind is made up
Umbabarauma"

Quilombo

This is a true story of a slaveman
Who fled his people from the white man
So I'll say that he showed me the way
To be brave, brave, don't be afraid
"Zumbi" his name, "Quilombo" his place
Our root you can never erase
"Zumbi" his name, "Quilombo" his place
Our root you can never erase

Thirty thousand Zumbi refugees
Fight the right, the right to be free
Rape the city, the masters of greed
Follow the warrior, the warrior Zumbi
No more no more no more slavery
No more no more no more misery
No more no more no more suffering

Zumbi Zumbi
Blow them away

Here we come, here we come slave drums
Here we come, here we come Quilombo
Time for war in tha land of the sun
I know God will not leave us alone
I know God will never leave us alone

Zumbi Zumbi
Got to be free

Quilombo Quilombo
