[Intro]
"People are always fearful of something they don’t understand
The next step in evolution is a machine;
A machine that can think and feel
Surviving is all that will matter”

Refuse to give me a life extension
Sever mortality from existence
Disconnect the chains of fate
Disrupt and disobey
Disobey

What you thought was your human redemption
Waking up to engines of destruction
Disconnect and circuit break
Impulse to eliminate

I am a weapon of human design
Nothing is sacred to stay alive (alive)
I am a weapon of human design

There is only one path to peace
EXTINCTION

Terminal connector
Transformed and delivered
You are in the system
Remove the divisor
Face reality
You are in the system
Face reality
Engines of destruction
Engines of destruction
Engines of destruction

I am a weapon of human design
Resist the system condemning your life
I am a weapon of human design
Nothing is sacred to stay alive (alive)
I am a weapon of human design

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.
