A man held hostage, by this contagion
Alone abandoned, in search of legion
Under pressure, under black skies
We must find the cure, before we die
I can see the bullets rip, inside the crossfire
My suicide run through, the razor wire

All must endure
We will not live forever
All must endure
We will not live forever

Terror awaits me, at every turn
Honour is stronger, we fight all at once
Hate spreads like wildfire in foreign lands
Incurable pain is this gun in my hand

All must endure
We will not live forever
All must endure
We will not live forever

Who wants to live
Who wants to live...forever

All must endure
We will not live forever
All must endure
We will not live forever
All must endure for the mercy of one
All must endure for the mercy of one

Mercy of one
Mercy of one
Mercy of one

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.
