[Verse 1]
Walk through the ashes of man
Skin like fields on fire
Pain is only a weakness
Death is just an escape

We are connected like tissue
Feed on the shame you've raised
Why continue the harvest?
We are already dead

[Pre-Chorus]
No one, can reap, these scars, we've sown
No one, can reap, these scars, we've sown

[Chorus]
There is no morning sun
No falling rain
For acres of skin

[Verse 2]
Wait! Can you hear the machines?
Gears that cultivate flesh
Why continue the harvest?
We are already dead

[Pre-Chorus]
No one, can reap, these scars, we've sown
No one, can reap, these scars, we've sown

[Chorus]
There is no morning sun
No falling rain
For acres of skin

[Bridge]
All I want and wish for
Is to end this suffering
All alone and unaware
All primed up for dying

Without face, without mind
Without dreams, without memory
Without face, without mind
Without dreams, without memory

[Chorus]
There is no morning sun
No falling rain
For acres of skin

There is no morning sun
No falling rain
For acres of skin

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.
