Primitive Future

Sepultura

I follow the steps i see in front of me

they are deep and well-defined

they show an undefined but straight path

what has gone through me will never return

future won't let me look back

i just walk, i don't evolve, i just walk

animals run by my side

they try to communicate, each one in its own way

but i can't understand

i feel alone on this irrational planet

to create or just observe

i keep walking on this desert made of ideas

primitive future

my head is heavy but empty

everything around me is void, without movement

without perspectives

the night invades the sky

that darkens the dry ground

making my shadow join the big stain that's forming

my steps become slow and agonize

i step on skulls of generations that have not formed

i hear painful cries of wars that are to come

to create everything again, from the beginning

to teach new minds

to awake a sleeping giant buried

on the ashes of disgrace

it's scornful the way i live

i look well, i think i'm well

that's all...

i follow the steps i see in front of me

they are deep and well-defined

they show an undefined but straight path

what has gone through me will never return

primitive future
