[Intro]
Become!
Become!

[Verse 1]
We've cut in, cut out
The face of man
Cut in, cut out
The face of...

[Pre-Chorus]
Time has given us no reason to live
Look to the future and you will see nothing

[Chorus]
What will become?
What will we be?
When we can see our own eternity
What will become?
What will we be?
When we can see our own eternity

[Verse 2]
We've lost hope, lost faith
We've lost our way
Lost time, lost grace
We search for...

[Pre-Chorus]
Man has taken time from all that you see
Look in his eye, see the future hold nothing

[Chorus]
What will become?
What will we be?
When we can see our own eternity
What will become?
What will we be?
When we can see our own eternity

Eternity!

[Bridge]
What will become?
What will we be?
When we can change our own eternity

Man has taken time from all that you see
Look in his eye and you still will not see
No! You will not see!
No! You will not see!
No! You will not see!
No! You will not...

[Chorus]
What will become?
What will we be?
When we can see our own eternity
What will become?
What will we be?
When we can see our own eternity

[Outro]
What will become!
What will become!
What will become!
What will become of us

Fear Factory

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.
