[Verse 1]
My reckoning fear your silent god
Promise of life or fear your soul be lost
Praising a myth and beat me with your faith
Paralyze me

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart of stone
My shadow stands alone

[Chorus]
Facing into forever
You'll never see the light
We're staring into darkness
The truth will blind your eyes

[Verse 2]
All of us die in darkness at the end
We all will fall through toxic events
Hammer to nail my hatred will prevail
Paralyze me

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart of stone
My shadow stands alone

[Chorus]
Facing into forever
You'll never see the light
We're staring into darkness
The truth will blind your eyes

Monolith

[Chorus]
Facing into forever
You'll never see the light
We're staring into darkness
The truth will blind your eyes

[Outro]
Monolith
Monolith
Monolith
Monolith

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.
