[Verse 1]
I'm nothing more, nothing less
Than a single piece of flesh
Nothing more, nothing less
Than a worthless piece of...
Flesh! Flesh! Flesh!
(A - piece - of )
Flesh! Flesh! Flesh!
Worthless

[Chorus]
No, I have not forgot
What you said to me
This is reality

Cast me away!

[Verse 2]
I've lost my mind, lost my faith
The machine made me the slave
Lost my mind, lost my faith
The machine made me the...
Slave! Slave! Slave!
(Made - me - the)
Slave! Slave! Slave!
Worthless

[Chorus]
No, I have not forgot
What you said to me
This is reality
No, I have not forgot
What you said to me
This is reality

[Bridge]
Falling, fading
Traces of my soul
Falling, fading
Traces of my soul....

I have no more memory
No more past that I can see
Devoid of that which defines me
Devoid of all humanity

Don't - know - how I got here
Don't - know - how I got here
Don't - know - how I got here
But I wish that I was dead!
Dead!

[Chorus]
No, I have not forgot
What you said to me
[???]

[Outro]
Falling, fading
Traces of my soul
Falling, fading
Traces of my soul...

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.
