Fear Factory

[Verse 1]
In my eyes sedition surrounds
One damned life beaten and bound
An act of mercy, a scene of pain
There is no difference, it's all in your name
This act of God

[Verse 2]
Hearts of faith blinding my eyes
Fires of hate scorch through the skies
Lost in your darkness, burned by your flame
Forced to believe it's all in your name
THIS - ACT - OF - GOD

[Chorus]
Honesty is heresy in this holy war
Contradiction, an affliction hardening my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart

[Verse 3]
Life conflicts, we're already dead
Death restricts enlightenment
Love is paradox, hate is insane
There is an difference, it's all in your name
THIS - ACT - OF - GOD

[Chorus]
Honesty is heresy in this holy war
Contradiction, an affliction hardening my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart

[Bridge]
This act of God
This act of God
Holy war
Holy war

[Chorus]
Honesty is heresy in this holy war
Contradiction, an affliction hardening my heart
Honesty is heresy in this holy war
Contradiction, an affliction hardening my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart

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.
