[Verse 1]
Sacrifice is pleasure
When life ends in pain
Conceive the last mistake
Which belongs to all
[Chorus]
Creation of insane rules
All we hear
Desperate cry
[Verse 2]
Death: the coldest wind
Seeps into your pores
A nation born of hate
Forgotten distant time
[Chorus]
Creation of insane rule
All we hear
Desperate cry
[Bridge]
Endless empty maze
Despair, distress and silence
A poison vacuum, infinity
Life, lies, deceit
[Verse 3]
Mute souls end in silence
Oceans tainted with blood
Empty promises of hope
Buried deep, infected ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Creation of insane rule
(All we hear) All we hear
Desperate cry
[Outro]
Cry!
Desperate Cry was written by Max Cavalera & Andreas Kisser & Igor Cavalera & Paulo Jr..
Desperate Cry was produced by Sepultura & Scott Burns.
Sepultura released Desperate Cry on Mon Mar 25 1991.
Max Cavalera, April 1991:
“Desperate Cry” has an acoustic part in the beginning and starts real slow and heavy, but then it keeps on getting faster. That acoustic part then returns in the middle of the song. It’s kind of a depressing song because it’s about how somebody feels right before he dies....
