SEPULTURA
- Subtraction Lyrics / with translationsFirst generation born
A plague was created
The cure is in my mind
Solitude is all I see
Powerful nations repress feeling
Buried beneath the fear
Making you a coward
Buying your safety
Grey shadows fill your head
Stealing your last breath
Scared of the future
Prophecies of chaos
Subtraction of personality
Within the human race
You'll always be
Green castles from the past
Bleeding in sands of war
No man is immortal
History is no more
Confused leaders behind our backs
Stifling our ideas
Misunderstand signs of progress
Minds of time regress
A plague was created
The cure is in my mind
Solitude is all I see
Powerful nations repress feeling
Buried beneath the fear
Making you a coward
Buying your safety
Grey shadows fill your head
Stealing your last breath
Scared of the future
Prophecies of chaos
Within the human race
You'll always be
Green castles from the past
Bleeding in sands of war
No man is immortal
History is no more
Confused leaders behind our backs
Stifling our ideas
Misunderstand signs of progress
Minds of time regress
