FEAR FACTORY LYRICS

1. Shock

Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!

Welcome to my world
Headfirst to the earth
With my sights on the god-damned kill switch

I've become a fuse
Charged with attitude
Fixed and dilated by my anger

I have become a direct
I have become a current
I have become a direct
I have become insurgent

I will be the power surge
Shock to the system
Electrified, amplified
Shock to the system

Shock!
Shock!

Alternate my wires
Heat my core desire
I will not stand for condemnation

I've become the volts
To lead the revolt
Fuck with me ensues certain danger

I have become a direct
I have become a current
I have become a direct
I have become insurgent

I will be the power surge
Shock to the system
Electrified, amplified
Shock to the system

I will be the power surge
Shock to the system
Electrified, amplified

I am the power surge
I am the insurgent
Electrified, amplified
Electrified, amplified

Shock!

Shock to the system

2. Edgecrusher

Due to the graphic nature of this program, listener discretion is advised

Conceived in a hell beyond your depth of perception
Chaotic case of conquering domination
Psychopath snaps fired chains of imprisonment
A bludgeoning force that's undermining the government

Inflict strain upon the structure
Collapsing below my pressure
Inflict strain upon the structure
Collapsing below my pressure

Break of the edgecrusher
Break of the edgecrusher
Break of the edgecrusher

Break of the edgecrusher
Break of the edgecrusher
Break of the edgecrusher

The purist, non-conformist, jaded subhuman terrorist
From flesh to steel and blood to blade I fight to exist
A rival of justice, extreme rush of hatred
Survival in a twisted world where nothing is sacred

Inflict strain upon the structure
Collapsing below my pressure
Inflict strain upon the structure
Collapsing below my pressure

Break of the edgecrusher
Break of the edgecrusher
Break of the edgecrusher

3. Smasher / Devourer

Fear me not but fear my hell
Man-made me so I could kill

Praise me in the name of war
I destroy both rich and poor
Praise me in the name of war
I destroy both rich and poor

I am the way
Prepare for salvation
I am the way
Prepare for salvation

Strength in time of suffering
Man alone is a weakling

Ascension is what you ask
I will be the fall of man
Ascension is what you ask
I will be the fall of man

I am the way
Prepare for salvation

4. Securitron (Police State 2000)

Invade and encompass to judge and dissect
Witness and persecute to serve and protect
To serve and protect, to serve
To serve and protect, to serve

Watchful and aware, constrain every movement
Admit the consequences, freedom's an illusion

Where is security governed through scrutiny?
Your privacy denied, organized and confined!

No place to hide!
No place to hide!

There is no place to hide
Plugged in your mind
Conformed design

There is no place to hide
Plugged in your mind
Conformed design

To concede your rights
Concede your mind
Surrender to authority

To concede your rights
Concede your mind
Surrender to authority

All must abide and all must adhere
Future oppression becoming more clear
This is a warning so you must take heed
This coming vision is reality

Where is security governed through scrutiny?
Your privacy denied, organized and confined!

No place to hide!
No place to hide!
No place to hide!
No place to hide!

5. Descent

Descent
Descent

Falling victim from neglect
Designed thoughts and intellect
Forgotten and displaced
The crux of my dismay

I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing

How deep I descend
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

How deep I descend
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

Deeper into this abyss
Weighted down and sinking fast
Life did not offer me
More than false destiny

I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing

How deep I descend
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

How deep I descend
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

I am nothing
I feel nothing

I feel nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

How deep I descend
Until I reach my end?

Until I reach my end?

How can you accept social suppression
This weak state of mind in our time
I demand release from hypocrisy
I'd rather die than be held down, forced down

Freedom or fire

Freedom or fire
Freedom or fire

I'm on the threshold of revolution
I'd rather burn than be held down, forced down

8. Obsolete

Nothing is the way it seems
Discerning man from machine
Dominate as to erase
Wiping man off Earth's face
Fueling engines through deceit
To eradicate humanity
Man is obsolete
Erased, extinct

Nothing is the way it seems
Discerning man from machines now

Dominate as to erase
Wiping man off Earth's face now

Defaced by all inept justice
Shamed by the mental abuses
Branded "inferior weakness"
Ordered to cease and to desist!

Man is obsolete!
Our world, obsolete!
Man is obsolete!
Erased, extinct!

9. Resurrection

Consumed with memories that preceded today
Given a chance to bereave life was slipping away

Suffered through tragedy of my slow decay
Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away

All that I know there was no god for me
Force that shatters all, absence of mortality

Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again

Again
Again
Again
Again!

Forsaken by destiny, forsaken by my own mind
I must remove my skin to see belief in your eyes

All that I know there was no god for me
Force that shatters all, absence of humanity

Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again

Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again

Again
Again
Again

Reach for the sky
Touch the sky
Revive a hope
For mankind

10. Timelessness

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.
And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
[Mario Savio, 02.12.1964]

I've felt darkness closing in on me
Chilling shadows surrounding me

I've had the poison leak into my skin
And it corroded my heart away

Bled away
Cut away

Dark night of my soul
Dark night of my soul
Dark night of my soul
Dark night of my soul

"And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.
And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
[Mario Savio, 02.12.1964]

11. Cars

[Digipak Bonus Track]
[originally by Gary Numan]

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars

Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me, please?
If I open my door
In cars

Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars

Here in my car nothing seems
Here in my car nothing seems
Here in my car nothing seems
In cars (cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars)

Here in my car nothing seems
Here in my car nothing seems
Here in my car nothing seems
In cars (cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars)

(cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars)
(cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars)
(cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars)
(cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars)

12. O-O (Where Evil Dwells)

[Digipak Bonus Track]
[originally by Wiseblood]

Long live the new flesh!

Where evil dwells
Northport, L.I.
Mutilation murder
Grisly sacrificial slaughter
Knights of the black circle
Stabbed him in the woods
At the sound of crow-call
He said, "I love thee, Satan"
Half-burnt body found
Buried in a shallow grave
Stabbed him in the throat
Stab!

Kasso killer... long live the new flesh

Where evil dwells
Northport, Long Island
Mutilation murder
Grisly sacrificial slaughter
Forsake your homosexuality
Half-burnt body found

Kasso killer... long live the new flesh
Kasso killer... long live the new flesh

Where evil dwells
Northport Long Island
Half-burnt body found
Naked in a leather mask
Mutilation murder

Kasso killer... long live the new flesh
Kasso killer... long live the new flesh

Long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh

13. Soulwound

[Digipak Bonus Track]

A tortured whipping dog defiled
Stalked by oblivion and denial
Scarring lacerations
Hopeless devastation

The cuts, cut deeper
The cuts, cut deeper
The cuts, cut deeper, deeper, deeper

These wounds are small slices of death
Draining my soul and final breath
Self-inflicted dementia
Bone shallow gravedigger

The cuts, cut deeper
The cuts, cut deeper
The cuts, cut deeper, deeper, deeper

Soulwound
Soulwound
Soulwound
Soulwound

Soulwound
Soulwound
Soulwound
Soulwound

Soulwounds I can not conceal
These wounds are so hard to heal

A tortured whipping dog defiled
Stalked by oblivion and denial
Scarring lacerations
Hopeless devastation

The cuts, cut deeper
The cuts, cut deeper
The cuts, cut deeper, deeper, deeper

14. Messiah

[Digipak Bonus Track]

Messiah...

Forced down and forced out

15. Concreto

[Digipak Bonus Track]

The sickness
Wipe it out
Of existence

Cut down corruption
Cut down infection
Scrape down
Wipe out

Concrete
Concrete
Concrete

Hammer down
The sickness
Wipe it out
Of existence

Scrape down
Wipe out
Cut down
