Songfacts®:

  • Sepultura vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera told Holland edition Aardschok/Metal Hammer in April 1991: "This is what I would call the weirdest song on the album. It's not a typical Sepultura song, on the contrary because it's a really slow song. There's this whole piece in the song where I just talk instead of sing. I'm then reading a part from the Last Temptation Of Christ because it's the part about how it isn't fun to be a God. The song itself is about the fact that most of the people can't choose their religion, but that it's forced on them when they are born. That's really weird don't you think?" >>>
