Unknown man Speaks to the world Sucking your trust A trap in every word
[Chorus] War for territory War for territory
Choice control Behind propaganda Poor information To manage your anger
[Chorus]
Dictators' speech Blasting off your life Rule to kill the urge Dumb assholes' speech
Years of fighting Teaching my son To believe in that man Racist human being Racist ground will live Shame and regret Of the pride You've once possessed
Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.
Respect the structure
Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.
Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)
Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.
Don’t mix versions
If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.
Let the lyrics be lyrics
This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.
Edit lightly
If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’
When in doubt, ask the crowd
Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
@Ddadutta The Israeli-Arab conflict isn't about territory.. It's about Muslims who hate Jews ,regardless of the State of Israel. The so-called territorial dispute is what they feed the useful idiots on over here.

@Backhander are you tryin to lie to yourself or to us 😂? It's clear that this conflict is about territory since before 1948 in Palestine lived christians, jews and muslims. Then arrived some jews from Europe to colonize the land, creating an apartheid country were christians and arabs had less rights than jews. And when you see the video of this song it is clear that Sepultura talk about this (when they show christian, jew and muslim references its normal people but when it's about israeli government it's only tanks, polices, checkpoint and soldiers. You also see that israel's flag...

Saw 'em live last year and the rocked (even if Derrick was singing), Territory is their best song i believe, but then again i am not a massive Sepultura fan. By the way Sepultura means Grave yard in Portuguese
It actually means gravestone, in both, potuguese and spanish. It's definitely one of Sepultura's best songs, or at least one of my favorite. The drumming in the intro is wicked!
@Elimination The lyrics could be about any conflict where either side war over territory. In this case the video to it makes it very clear what they had in mind!

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think Sepultura means sepulchre.
Anyway, Terriroty is about racial wars, SUCH AS the Hutu-Tutsi wars, and about territorial wars, such as the Israel-palestinian wars.

@toooldmetalhead thank you for being smart

Drummers drool over Igor here and Andreas does one his last really great solos!
The song tells about livelihood in and against tyranny countries!
this songs talks about the israelians who occupied the palastenian country and killing unarmed people everyday...
No it's not. It's about the shot going on in Brazil
about opression and the seach of a peoples land.. In the Video it featued the Israeli/Palestine conflict so it could referene to that

No, "sepulcro" is "sepulchre"... Shadowbitch is right.
And nope, it's not about specfifically racial wars.
Seriously, this doesn't take a genius to figure out... you people just wanna try to make the meaning too specific about a war or kind of war...
