[Intro]
Attention all civilians
For your own safety
Please evacuate the streets immediately
Remain indoors until you receive further instructions
I repeat
Please evacuate the streets immediately
Remain indoors until you receive further instructions

[Verse 1]
Every thing you've ever known
Is coming to an end
Caged in by hallucination
Captured by the dead
Sacrificial ritual
The cause of your terror
My gun pointed right at you
Bow down to your killer

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bow down
Bow down
Bow to your killer
Bow down
Bow down
Bow to your killer
Killer

[Chorus 1]
You can never collapse me
You can never defeat me
You can never collapse me
You can never defeat me

[Verse 2]
My eyes see the world on fire
Burning from within
Choking on the smoking ashes
Walking through the dead
Evolution changes us
Doomsday becomes nearer
Savior with a heart of stone
Pray now to your killer

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Pray now
Pray now
Pray to your killer
Pray now
Pray now
Pray to your killer

[Chorus 2]
You can never collapse me
You can never defeat me
You can never collapse me
You can never defeat me
Defeat me
Defeat me

[Bridge]
Our world has seen it all
Empires will always fall
Collapse
Collapse
Collapse
Collapse

[Chorus 2]
You can never collapse me
You can never defeat me
You can never collapse me
You can never defeat me
Defeat me
Defeat me

[Outro]
Defeat me

Fear Factory is an American heavy metal band that was formed in 1989. During the band’s career, they have released nine full-length albums and have evolved through a succession of styles, including nu metal, death metal, groove metal, and thrash metal. Fear Factory was enormously influential on the heavy metal scene in the mid-to-late 1990s. Fear Factory went on hold in March 2002 following some internal disputes, but reformed later that year without founding member Dino Cazares, adding bassist Byron Stroud, and previous bassist Christian Olde Wolbers as guitarist.

In April 2009, a new lineup was announced. Cazares returned as lead and rhythm guitarist, and Gene Hoglan as drummer. Bell and Stroud reprised their respective roles, and the band completed a seventh studio album titled Mechanize. Former members Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera —both of whom were playing in Arkaea—disputed the legitimacy of the new lineup, and a legal battle from both parties was begun. Fear Factory released its eighth studio album, The Industrialist, in June 2012. Their latest album, Genexus, was released in August 2015.

Over the years, Fear Factory has seen changes in its members, with lead vocalist Burton C. Bell being the only consistent member since 1989. The band has performed at three Ozzfests and the inaugural Gigantour. Their singles have charted on the US Mainstream Rock Top 40 and albums on the Billboard Top 40, 100, and 200, and they have sold more than a million albums in the U.S. alone.
