Fear Factory

I have become their target for revenge
Knocked down and transform my hatred within
Dependence brings subservience
Losing sight enslaved obedience

Fight back!
Unleash your aggravation
Recharged adrenalized determination

Open your scars and the sky opens wide
Seeing the world in your eyes
Believe in yourself and you will survive
Live out the life you design

Live for today or fade away
Live for today or fade away

Automatic slave, kill the will to live
Losing hope to save yourself
Siphoning the soul from humanity
Suffering and apathy
All of this must end
All of this must end
All of this must end
All of this must end

Break free from this hypocrisy
Set free chained to bureaucracy
Dependence brings subservience
Losing sight enslaved obedience

Open your scars and the sky opens wide
Seeing the world in your eyes
Believe in yourself and you will survive
Live out the life you design

Live for today or fade away
Live for today or fade away

Open your scars and the sky opens wide
The world is filling your mind
Believe in yourself and you will survive
Believe that you'll never die

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.
