Sepultura - Manifest

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 massacre
The police arrived with helicopters and over two hundred armed forces

They took the jail block called Pavilhão Nove and opened fire on the inmates
In a holocaust, method of annihilation
The government of the city of São Paulo cannot control the brutality of its police

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

Over eighty percent 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
The violence of Brazilian cops is very well known outside of brazil
This kind of extermination is a method that they use to get rid of
the Overpopulation in the jails
The violence of the cops left the whole pavilion destroyed after the rebellion
Pavilhão Nove
