Sepultura - Manifest lyrics

Friday, October second, 1992 Chaos has descended in "Carandiru" The biggest penitentiary complex in South America Over a hundred inmates dead and hundreds injured on the ma**acre The police arrived with helicopters And over two hundred armed forces They took the jailblock called "Pavilhao Nove" And opened fire on the inmates In a holocaust method of annihilation The government of the city of Sao Paulo Cannot control the brutality of its police Holocaust, body piles Confrontation, mutilation Discipline, ignorance Conflagration, torture Over eighty percent of the inmates were not sentenced yet The bodies were filled with bullets And bites from the police dogs The police try to hide the ma**acre Saying there were only eight d**hs The violence of Brazilian cops Is very well known outside Brazil This kind of extermination is a method that they use To get rid of the overpopulation in the jails The violence of the cops Left the whole pavillion destroyed after the rebellion "Pavilhao Nove" [Pavilhao 9]
