Reza
Sepultura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fatores decisivos que te obrigam a pensar
O vinho e sangue, a carne e o pao
Chagas que nao fecham que intrigam sua vida
O ceu e o inferno, a cruz o perdao
A luz no fim do tunel e vida depois da morte
Voce tomou sua decisao
Nao espere julgamento sua alma esta perdida
Rezar, Rezar, Rezar, Rezar
Heresia, maldicao
O pai, o filho, o espirito santo
Ignoram os fieis que nao se cansam de rezar
Gritam, cantam a oracao
Desculpem eu lamento eles nao vao te escutar
Rezar
Arrependei-vos pecadores
A penitencia purifica
O sangue escorre
A dor fascina
So o medo te faz rezar
A guerra e santa o pecado e mortal
A hostia consagrada que tem gosto de esfiha
Tortura, fogueira, a inquisicao
O passado violento da igreja e normal
Armagedon, destruicao
O fim do mundo e pouco pra fuder a sua vida
Enriquecer, ressucitar
Em nome de Jesus nao me comece a chorar
Rezar, Rezar, Rezar
The lyrics to Sepultura's song Reza speaks about the human emotions of despair, pain, and fear as the factors that drive an individual to think deeply. The first stanza describes the physical elements of life like wine, blood, flesh, and bread, that create wounds that never heal and continue to intrigue one's life. The mention of heaven, hell, cross, and forgiveness conveys the spiritual quest for finding the light at the end of the tunnel, which leads to life after death. However, the lyrics imply the finality of death and the importance of making a decision before it's too late. The repetition of the word "Rezar" highlights the significance of prayer in seeking repentance and accepting faith as a way of life.
The second stanza speaks about the paradox of religion, where despite people's faithfulness and endless prayers, there's a sense of heresy and curse that surrounds them. The mention of "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit" indicates the Holy Trinity, which seems to be oblivious to the masses that pray endlessly. The message in the lyrics exposes the futility of praying without action, where the act of praying becomes more of a cultural practice rather than an actual realization of faith. The final stanza describes the violent history of the church, where the war and sin mortify the soul, and the consecrated host tastes like a pie. The mention of Armageddon, torture, and the inquisition, is a reminder of the Church's violent past and how the fear of judgment can make an individual do anything, including praying.
