01. Eye For An Eye

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera
Soulfly - 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
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye For An Eye For An Eye
Fuck

Can't you watch my back
Can't you let my heart
Believe what they have fired (?)

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

That's right!!

[break, "right" echoing in the background]

I hit the bottom
You don't understand
Pain, Hate, Pain

To born again
Arise again
I believe it's 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

02. No Hope = No Fear

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera
Soulfly - 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...

Fuck!

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!

03. Bleed

Music by Max Cavalera
Lyrics by Max Cavalera, Fred Durst
Soulfly - 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

05. Bumba

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera
Soulfly - 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, we pray everyday...

*Ele e caboclo, ele e flecheiro - Bumba na calunga
(he is land's owner, He is Archer)
E matador de feiticeiro - Bumba na calunga (he is
killer and witch)
Ele vai firmar seu ponto - Bumba na calunga (he will
assure his point)
E vai firmar na angola (he will assure in angola)
Bumba na calunga e na fe de Oxala (bumba in the
calunga and in the faith in oxalá)
Bumba na calunga...* (He is Archer)
(Ponto de coboclo sete flechas / T.E.P.J. da C.)

06. First Commandment

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera
Soulfly - 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

07. Bumbklaatt

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera
Soulfly - Bumbklaatt
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...

08. Soulfly

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera
Soulfly - 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.

09. Umbabarauma

Music & lyrics by Jorge Ben
Umbabarauma

Um, dois, tres, quatro...

Umbabarauma homen gol
Umbabarauma homen gol

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
Favela Pelada Favela Pelada
Futebol Futebol Futebol Futebol...

Eis ai a historia de Umbabarauma
Um ponta de lanca Africano
Um ponta de lanca decidido
Umbabarauma

10. Quilombo

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera
Soulfly - 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

11. Fire

Music & lyrics by Max Cavalera

overdrives)

Lyrics by Max Cavalera, D-Low, Gordo
Soulfly - The Song Remains Insane
Live your life
Not the way they taught you
Do what you feel
Survive the jungle
Give me blood
Give me Pain
These scars won't heal
Can you take it (3x)
Motherfucker
What were you thinking
What a wonderful world
You're full of shit
Leave it behind
They don't care if you cry;
All is left is pain
I won't take it (3x)
No
The Song Remains Insane
The song remains insane (x12)
I remain insane

14. Predjudice

Music by Max Cavalera
Lyrics by Max Cavalera, Benji Webbe
Soulfly - Prejudice
Shame of all nations
What seeds do we plant in an infant's mind?
Seeds of destruction
And don't you trust their kind?
This hate is deep-rooted, get rid of the weed
Destroying the harvest
Of peace that we need

Prejudice
Shame of all nations

We got to live in the same neighborhood
When you take a man's life it don't mean that you're
good
Same blood runs through your veins
Your hate proves youre insane
See a man's face but you can't see his heart
Don't even know him but you tear him apart
Them kind of things, they're just killing off the
Earth
Madness, mayhem, we must desert...

Prejudice
Shame of all nations
Breeding hate, don't need no segregation

If dirty people are all I can see
Then in their eyes the same dirt covers me
Take off the blindfold, it's time to enlighten
Come out of the wickedness, step out of the night
One man's agony is another man's joy
For self satisfaction we're prepared to destroy
One man, one earth and one destiny
To kill Satan and give God the glory...

Prejudice
Shame of a nation
Breeding hate, dont cause annihilation

For real...

16. Cangaceiro

Cangaceiro!

Quando sinto o cheiro da caatinga.
O sertão dá.
Me dá vontade de matar.

Quando sinto o cheiro da caatinga.
O sertão dá.
Me dá vontade de matar.

Sou Lampião.
Sou bandido.
Eu sei que algum dia.
Minha cabeça vão degolar.

Sou Lampião.
Sou bandido.
Eu sei que algum dia.
Minha cabeça vão degolar.

Cangaceiro.
Cangaceiro.

Sou rei do cangaço.
Não se aquieta comigo.
Que eu te arregaço.

Sou rei do cangaço.
Não se aquieta comigo.
Que eu te arregaço.

A morte comanda o cangaço.
E o meu nome além do espaço.

A morte comanda o cangaço.
E o meu nome além do espaço.

Virgulino Ferreira.
Sertão de Canudos.
Aqui eu nasci.
Virgulino Ferreira.
Sertão de Canudos.
Aqui eu morri.

Cangaceiro.

Cangaceiro.
Cangaceiro.

Cangaceiro.
Cangaceiro.

17. Ain't No Feeble Bastard

Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say.
They say do this, they say do that, no I'm no dog's body.

Ain't no feeble bastard, no fucking scapegoat.

Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think, not what they want me to think.

Ain't no feeble bastard, no fucking scapegoat.

Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say.
They say do this, they say do that, no I'm no dog's body.

Ain't no feeble bastard, no fucking scapegoat.

Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think, not what they want me to think.

Ain't no feeble bastard, no fucking scapegoat.

18. The Possibility Of Life's Destruction

Can you hear the sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of Hell?
The possibility of life's destruction!

Can you hear the cries of pain, the mournful sound?
The possibility of life's destruction!

Can you hear the sound of an enormous door slamming in the depths of Hell?
The possibility of life's destruction!
