[Verse 1]
I cannot resist my surging heartbeat
This act of nature that never ends
A perfect machine that never fails me
I am the face of your damnation
Damnation

[Chorus]
I am one of you
Take me as I am
I am one of you
You made me as I am

[Verse 2]
Bleeding aggression from the scars you gave me
A pure example of humanity
I can’t understand your path to salvation
As you sow the seeds for your destruction

[Chorus]
Destruction
I am one of you
Take me as I am
I am one of you
You made me as I am
As I am
Huh!

[Bridge]
Hatred for your creation
Purity has taken form
Vengеance for your religion
Purity has been reborn
Purity has been rеborn
Purity has been reborn

[Chorus]
I am one of you
Take me as I am
I am one of you
You made me as I am

[Outro]
I am one
I am one
I am one
I am one of you
One of you

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.
