Sepultura - To the Wall lyrics

"To the wall", claims the soldier
My last steps march to the dead
Last wills, Hell, this is idiotism
Fuck off to me, fuck off to all of you
To the death, I raise my head
My last moments, it's my existing countdown
A cry for mercy trapped in my throat
But even in Hell, there's a place for cowards

The burning sun over my head
The troop is coming, compassion I dismiss
Sentence of death pounding on my back
There's no hiding when you're
Thrown against the wall
"To Paradise", the priest is saying
Blessing my death
He's standing in front of me
His merciful sight sickens me
He says that soon I'll have my judgement
I'll kneel down in front of the Lord

And he asks me to regret my sins
But it's too late
Growling words from the bible
Raising my agony
Oh, God, how I'd like to have my hands untied

The wall I'm facing now
Seeing my life going through my eyes
Feeling death behind my back
An acrid taste of defeat
Tormenting my last years
And when I feel my body being punched
Smashed there's no pain, just silence
My last breath echoing
Spreading through the air
My body in pieces, a stream of blood

Bloody drops, whipping the wall
The silent wall that has
Understood my silence
The silence that was a prisoner of my soul
Is my soul that now is the ruler of the world
To the wall
