Sepultura - Manifest Lyrics

Friday, october 2nd, 1992
Chaos has descended in "carandiru,"
The biggest penitentiary complex in
South america
Over a hundred inmates dead and
Hundreds injured on the masscare
The police arrived with helicopters
And over two hundred armed forces

They took the jailblock
Called "pavihao nove"
And opened fire on the
Inmates in a holocaust, method of
Annihilation, the goverment of the city
Of sao paulo cannot control
The brutality of its police

Holocaust, body piles
Confrontation, multilation
Discipline, ignorance
Conflagration, torture

Over eighty precent 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 massacre saying
There were only eight deaths
