| This is about the death of Max's father, Graziano Cavalera, who did some work for the Mafia, and got killed by some Mafiosa. The lyrics are about Max's (and presumably Igor's) anger at their fathers refusal to let them know who killed him ("code of silence!? who set you up?!). And the pain bit is obvious. | |

| well this is from the Soufly bio on the RoadRunner Records site; The song “Tree of Pain” began as a backyard acoustic get-together, further adding to the organic methodology of Max's songwriting. For this epic, 8-minute song Max enlisted the services of Asha Rabouin, who is no newcomer when it comes to working with the band. She sang on “Fly High” which appears at the end of Primitive. “With Soulfly 3 I decided to give Asha a bigger part. She wrote some lyrics that really dig in deep. I really love the first line of the song, 'My pain is as deep as my roots.' That's one of my favorite lines on the whole record,” reveals Max. Max's stepson Ritchie also contributed to “Tree of Pain,” turning it into a three-part tale of loss. “The song is about three people who have lost loved ones in their lifetime and can share that within each other. Each one of us sings in our way. I have my way to express that feeling, Asha has her way, and Ritchie had his way because he lost his brother,” offers Max. | |
