Taken from the back cover Sarcófago's second LP, Rotting (1989):

"We're not sure about others, all of us suspect from others thanks to a word that established this social shit. This word‚ MORAL. The moral doesn't allow us to talk to everybody, to have sexual intercourse, forbids the poor to speak the truth. The moral doesn't allow us to think, act and speak. We're under the riches' moral, who prefer the idiot culture of television over the culture of their own people and land. The moral of christianity which denies life in favor of suffering and an uncertain future. We don't want to be saints, confining ourselves and accepting fate as impossible to be changed. We are warriors, we must fight for a better fate for us, our people and our country.

So raise your head and set yourself free from your religion, moral, sistem, dominating ideology and all these movements which trap you in this meaningless way of living. Rich people: your money is only good to grant your own suicide and provoke on the people, that you exploit so much, revolution and therefore your end. and that's why we want warriors, and not cowards who are afraid of going with open chest everything which is erroneously established in this country.

Christ‚ the maximum icon of these cowards, for he allowed himself to be killed by the dominating class, just like the people does nowadays, letting themselves to be killed the the church's ideology: capitalism. Moral denies life. "Only those who give their lives spontaneously in battle to freed their people from the oppressor shall we allowed in Paradise" (hinduist philosophy, against the christian one, which recomends to bow down before the dominating class which forbid us to think).

Today, if you feel yourself offended with this manifest, I can only tell you that I'm very sorry, because you are sick due to moral and don't have your own thoughts. Thanks to this you implode yourself, you suicide, you carry a cross that is not yours, you feel frustration and works as a slave to all the production owners who manipulate money, the media, the center and right government, and the most sad: manipulate you.

Thats why I say it again: free yourself, scream and fight, because we are asphixiating the hope of seeing this people, this land and this Brazil really big!"

The Antichrist
