Territory" (1993) by Sepultura is a raw critique of land disputes, propaganda, and dehumanization in conflict zones—particularly resonant with the Israel-Palestine struggle. The lyrics expose how ideology weaponizes geography. Over 30 years later, enduring its relevance.
Unknown man
Speaks to the world
Sucking your trust
A trap in every word
War for territory
War for territory
Choice control
Behind propaganda
Poor information
To manage your anger
War for territory
War for territory
Dictators’ speech
Blasting off your life
Rule to kill the urge
Dumb assholes’ speech
Years of fighting
Teaching my son
To believe in that man
Racist human being
Racist ground will live
Shame and regret
Of the pride
You’ve once possessed
War for territory
War for territory
i loved this album, the one before and after too. But now, after all these years, i can only listen to Roots.
wonder how Sepultura would have evolved if Max was still a part of the group after that album :/
I am not surprised. Roots is an incredibly tasteful album. They ventured beyond groove metal.
Actually, there is a fantastic studio performance of Roots from back when. You might like it!
2metersessions in general seems to be an interesting channel 👍
