"Master of Savagery" is a track of the Soulfly album Savages, released in 2013. Lyrics of this song talk about deceasing certain tyrannies. "Master of Savagery" contains grooves like songs from other Soulfly albums such as Prophecy, Dark Ages, and Soulfly, and the first rhythm resembles the first track of this album "Bloodshed". Bass solo begins about three minutes into the song, and then gets what Max Cavalera says "super heavy," causing him to debate about singing in this part while recording, "I was tempted to sing on top of it. I even tried once. Then I was like, 'No, let's leave it open, just let the music take control and be just this cool, heavy part on the song.'" The bass solo would follow into an eerie ambient outro.

Edit
Disciple gods of cyanide Bewailing my final demise Forever engraved within Enslaved by my apathy Master of savagery Master... savage Master of savagery Master... savage Dethroned the master, cut his head The veil of trust is shattered Forcing social regression The swallow's ostentation Master of savagery Master... savage Master of savagery Master... savage New age dogma darkened forms In this hell beneath, I rot Master of savagery Master... savage Master of savagery Master... savage Certain is suffering Morbid premonition Obliterate ourselves Toxic death corrosion
