[Verse 1]
Dark bodies floating in darkness
No sign of light ever given
Imprisoned in a world without a memory
Unconscious or am I conscious?
Cut from the heart I am part of
Sometimes I feel as though I'm frozen in Heaven

[Chorus]
And I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness
And I saw my own face like a spark frozen in Heaven

[Verse 2]
In dreams I see myself flying
Closer to the sun and I'm climbing
Tried to touch the sun
But the brightness burned my eyes
Unconscious or am I conscious?
Fell from the sky like a star
Sometimes I feel as though I'm frozen in Heaven

[Chorus]
And I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness
And I saw my own face like a spark

[Bridge]
Dark! dark! dark!
My life was so dark! dark! dark!
My mind was so dark! dark! dark!
My life was so dark! dark! dark!
Everything was! (dark)

[Verse 3]
Unconscious or am I conscious?
Fell from the sky like a star
Sometimes I feel as though I'm frozen in Heaven

[Chorus]
And I saw my own face in the dark and loneliness
And I saw my own face like a spark frozen in Heaven

[Outro]
Dark bodies floating in darkness!
Dark bodies floating in darkness!
Dark bodies floating in darkness!
Dark bodies floating in darkness!
Dark bodies floating in darkness!
Dark bodies floating in darkness!
Dark bodies floating in darkness!

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.
