Fear Factory

"They say the world was coming to an end, well, it was by our own hand
Turned out the world kept turning, only we ended
All the evidence was there
The punishment of faith creating animosity between our brethren
The dissolution for humanity in all cultures, the reluctance and acceptance for others
Bigotry, ignorance and narrow mindedness destroying our world, destroying our world
Destroying our world"

Slaves to incorporation
Hate that excludes no one
Enforced by the laws of deception
Chained to the systematic suppression

Fear, the source that fuels their greed
Scraped down and warped reality
Tensions explode, a fire to purge
Friction and anger to conquer and surge

We are victims of condition
We are victims of condition
A god damn nation of deprivation
A god damn nation of deprivation

Power to kill, death of free will
A system above and beyond the law
Power to kill, death of free will
A system above and beyond, above and beyond, above and beyond the law

Attrition through armed enforcement
An abomination of service
A criminal injustice system
Of laws inherently dangerous for us

We are victims of condition
We are victims of condition
A god damn nation of deprivation
A god damn nation of deprivation

Power to kill, death of free will
A system above and beyond the law
Power to kill, death of free will
A system above and beyond the law
Power to kill, death of free will
A system above and beyond the law
Power to kill, death of free will
A system above and beyond, above and beyond the law

Above and beyond the law
Above and beyond the law
Above and beyond the law
Above and beyond the law

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.
