[Verse 1]
Consumed with memories that preceded today
Given a chance to bereave life that's slipping away

Suffered through tragedy of my slow decay
Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away

[Pre-Chorus]
All that I know there was no God for me
Force that shatters all, absence of mortality

[Chorus]
Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again
Again

[Verse 2]
Forsaken by destiny, forsaken by my own mind
I must remove my skin to see belief in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
All that I know there was no God for me
Force that shatters all, absence of humanity

[Chorus]
Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again

Revive all my fears
Revive wasted tears
Revive void within
Revive once again
Again
Again
Again

[Outro]
Reach for the sky
Touch the sky
Revive a hope
For mankind

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.
