FEAR FACTORY LYRICS

1. 540,000 Degrees Fahrenheit

Witness a blinding flash, Sudden bright light from a blast.
Pulsing radiation, moving through cracks under skin.
Feel the fire in the wind, Deadly kiss of scorching sands.

Not a prayer of hope, Or redemption in your eyes.
Hell exploded on this earth, To take all that's alive.
Standing at the face of death, Terror stealing your last breath.

Watch the firestorm, Incinerate you into ash!

All that you know burns away into dust
So many Lives
So many Innocent

Burn!

Every particle returns, To it's natural form
Ashes into ashes, Blown away just like the dust
Heaven burning in the sky, Hell is not the reason why.

Feel the firestorm, Melting your spirit into glass!

All that you know burns away into dust
So many Lives
So many Innocent

Burn!

2. Transgression

One nation, One nation of gods
Divided by faith.
A nation is divided by faith

Witness, Deliberate, War, Of attrition
Witness, Deliberate, War, Of attrition

Judge me not, judge me less you be judged
Eyes are blind, blinded by violation.

I hate your contention
I hate your violation
I hate your corruption
I hate your life destruction

I am your ENEMY!

Witness, Deliberate, War, Of attrition
Kill my mind, my mind is the weapon
Words are banned, these words meant to enlighten

I hate your contention
I hate your violation
I hate your corruption
I hate your life Destruction

I am your, ENEMY!
I will resist, ENDLESSLY!

3. Spinal Compression

Like the knife into my back, Cold hate within my spine
Freezing up my nerves, This slow death consumes my mind
Shock waves through my soul, Compounding my fears
This depression on my life, My dead weight through the years

I'm going to BREAK!

I've had all that I can take, Endurance wearing thin
Everything that's on my mind, Will crush my soul within
My feet sink into the ground, Embeds my roots of fate
Coursing through my blood vessels, Reality of hate

Crushed by this fate, Under this weight, Crushed by this fate
Under this weight, I'm going to break, because I've had all that I can
TAKE!

Stop this pressure, weighing down on me
Please! Stop this pressure, weighing down on me

Buried to my neck in waste, Debris of life itself
World spinning out of control, I feel like I'm in hell
Something's got to change, Something's got to give
Existential weight on mind, Is not my way to live

Crushed by this fate, Under this Weight, Crushed by this fate,
Under this weight, I'm going to break, because I've had all that I can
TAKE!

Stop this pressure, weighing down on me
Please! Stop this pressure, weighing down on me

4. Contagion

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

Terror awaits me, at every turn
Honor 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
All must endure
For the mercy of one.

5. Empty Vision

A paralyzed mind embracing decay
Dead like carrion, just wasting away
There is nothing!
Numbed by excess and complete saturation
Scarred influence by degeneration
There is nothing, There is nothing to believe!

All has been lost
All have lost their way
Every eye, Has been disgraced

(Dead, like carrion, We must carry on)

There is nothing!
Lost innocence and blank revelations
Searching for a hope in static transmissions
There is nothing, There is nothing to believe!

All had been lost
All have lost their way
Every eye, Has been disgraced

There's no reason
There is no reason for empty vision

All had been lost
All have lost their way
Every eye, Has been disgraced

6. Echo Of My Scream

This lonely isolation
Follows me through my dreams
I wander around with doubt
So cold and incomplete
There is nothing here for comfort
No spark of hope I see
I breathe deep and fill my lungs
To silently release

An echo

This is more than a dream to me
I breathe deep and drown my lungs
And release silently
I gasp for breath to only hear
What's inside me

An echo
More than a dream to me
An echo of my scream

I gasp for breath to only hear

An echo
More than a dream to me
An echo of my scream

7. Supernova

An ever changing world, Ever changing me
Reveals new pathways, For my soul to see
A light so bright, In your eyes
Casting off shadows, That darken your mind

Shining brighter than the sun
Blinding every eye at once
Fire's burning inside me
Burning light of all to see
(To shine brighter, To shine brighter)

A storm will rage, Fade to end before the dawn
A star blazes bright, Before the end is come
A light so bright, In your life
Casting off shadows, enshrouding your eyes

Shining brighter than the sun
Blinding every eye at once
Fire's burning inside me
Burning light of all to see
(To shine brighter than the sun, To shine brighter than the sun)

Supernova!

An ever changing world, Ever changing me
Reveals new pathways, For my soul to see
Everlasting

Shining brighter than the sun
Blinding every eye at once
Fire's burning inside me
Burning light of all to see
(To shine brighter than the sun, To shine brighter than the sun)

Supernova!

8. New Promise

Understand that
I will keep safe from every scar that bleeds
I will keep you free from all that's hurting me
This I promise

I Promise!

One more time, This I swear
Trust in me, My faith is sincere

Love is stronger when the end is near
Then there will be nothing more to fear

I Promise!

Trust in these, Love, life, hands
You need me, To help you stand

I can release you, from your pain, dear
Then there will be nothing more to fear
I promise this, I promise this, I promise this

Love is stronger when the end is near
I can release you from your pain, dear

Understand

I Promise!

9. I Will Follow

I was on the outside, when you said you needed me
I was looking at myself, I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man, His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry, Oh why

If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away
I will follow

I was on the inside, When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window, I was lost, I am found

If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes

If you walk away, walk away, I walk away, walk away
I will follow

10. Millennium

I was born to see two thousand years
Of man's effect upon the planet
Extinction seems to be a plausible risk
Whatever happens well I'm part of all this

My life, I've been waiting, For this moment
All my life, I've been waiting, For this moment to come

Taste the salt of my tears
Take the wealth of my years
Singing in the millennium with you
Resolutions for show
Old ways don't seem to know
Singing in the millennium with you

Fire burn all our uncertainties
Water wash away impurities
Contradictions and predictions abound
Yes I believe that we can turn it around

My life, I've been waiting, For this moment
All my life, I've been waiting, For this moment to come

Taste the salt of my tears
Take the wealth of my years
Singing in the millennium with you
Resolutions for show
Old ways don't seem to know
Singing in the millennium with you

My life, I've been waiting, For this moment
My life, I've been waiting, For this moment
My life, I've been waiting, For this moment
All my life, I've been waiting, For this moment to come

Taste the salt of my tears
Take the wealth of my years
Singing in the millennium with you
Resolutions for show
Old ways don't seem to know
Singing in the millennium with you

11. Moment Of Impact

Falling through the sky, And I have lost all track of time
Every image of my life, Flashes before my eyes
Knowing the precise time, Of my own demise
Saved prayers of circumstance, have recently expired

I, Pray, In, Spite, My, Soul, My LIFE

Straining every muscle, For my contact with fate
I could never dream, My life would end this way
Cross my heart and hope to die, Fade to the black
Brace myself, the time is now, The moment of impact

I, Pray, In, Spite, My, Soul, My, Life
My cries, won't hide, I pray, In spite
My fears of impending doom that I'm about to DIE!

Brace for, The shock, And trauma
Brace myself for the impact

I can hardly breathe, I can hardly breathe
...Cause I am chocking out this deathly SCREAM!

Brace for, The shock, And trauma
Brace myself for the impact

12. Empire

Faceless, worshipping eyes full of doubt
Crushing rock standards in the state of the church
Show us how to suffer and lead us to death
Contrition of condition in the empire
Tolerance isn't a critical face
Moral excess is the cross we bare
Show us all your reasons behind all your lies
Yours is not to question the empire
Look at this world
( Empire! Empire! )
Where we live
( Empire of war! )
How can we ever forgive?
( Empire of hate! Empire of lies! )
Millions of souls in famish decay
Social empathy is rare these days
Show us all the hungry despair in their eyes
Show us the reflection of the empire
Look at this world
( Empire! Empire! )
Where we live
( Empire of gods! )
How can we ever forgive?
( Empire of church! empire of faith! )
Yours is not to question why
Yours is but to do or die
Yours is not to question why
Yours is not to question why
Yours is but to do or die
Yours is not to question why
Yours is but to do or DIE... !!!
Look at this world
( Empire! Empire! )
Where we live
( Empire of world! )
How can we ever forgive?
( Empire of rape! Empire of jail! )
Look at this world
( Empire of war! Empire of states! )
Where we live
( Empire of lies! Empire of hate! )
How can we ever forgive?
( Empire of gods! Empire of church! )
( Empire of lies! Empire of faith!... )

13. My Grave

[Secret bonus track]

My Grave [x3]
Scream in pain
Die in flames [x3]
Lost in darkness
God forgotten
Run in fear so you can hide
In the dark
Run in fear so you can hide
Forever
Hoping beyond my grave
My grave [x3]
Running to hide
Closing your eyes
Run in fear so you can hide [x3]
Run in fear closing your eyes
Hoping beyond
Hoping I can see beyond my grave
My grave [x7]

[in background:]
Hoping... beyond... hoping I can see.. beyond my...

Beyond my grave
My grave [x7]
