Fear Factory : Soul of a New Machine
MARTYR
What I thought was life
Came to an end
Born into a world
I never asked for this
I've got to get away (4x)
Born into hardship
World of destruction
Suffer, bastard
Suffer, bastard
I've got to get away (4x)
Take me to heaven
Adorn me with wings
Suffer, bastard
I've got to get away (4x)
Suffer, bastard...
Repeat 1st verse, 2nd verse
I've got to get away (4x)
LEECHMASTER
What you feel
Are your needs
All you want
Is to be loved
Pain!...Love!...Pain!
But you can give
Someone else
The same love
That you want
Pain!...Love!...Pain!
Pain!...Love!...Pain!
Come and take my pain
And soon you will see
That I will taste your pain
Then both of us can bleed
I loved you once
Now go away
I loved you once
Please stay away
Your emotions
Are out of control
A battered soul
Your love means shit
Pain!...Love!...Pain!
Pain!...Love!...Pain!
Come and take my pain
And soon you will see
That I will taste your pain
Then both of us can bleed
I loved you once
Now go away
I loved you once
Please stay away (X2)
SCAPEGOAT
Judges have decimated
Meanings of our laws
Already guilty?
Something has a flaw
Wrongly accused
Blindly confused
Open your eyes
Try to realize
Chorus:
Don't you know
You can't see
Too damn blind
To judge me!
Wrongly accused
Blindly confused
Open your eyes
Try to realize
Laws are meant to follow
but they've misled you
Conceal their meaning
So they can suit you
Misjudged by the system
No one ever knows
Adding injury to insult
No one ever knows
No one
No one knows
No one
No one
No one knows...
Judges have decimated
Meanings of our laws
Already guilty?
Something has a flaw
Wrongly accused
Blindly confused
open your eyes
Wake up, realize!
Scapegoat
CRISIS
You that I despise
Repentance of sorts
Death comes naturally
Not from a hated war
Repentance
Repentance of faith
Repentance of hope
Repentance of hate
Chorus:
Not my war
Soldiers marching on
Not my war
Soldiers marching on
On your feet!
Crisis at hand
On your feet soldier!
Crisis at hand
On your feet soldier!
On your feet motherfucker!
Repeat Chorus
Crisis
Crisis
Crisis
Repeat Chorus
Crisis
CRASH TEST
Some men believe
Animals aren't seen
Testing on their minds
Testing with their lives
You can't believe
Not even percieve
Animals that die
Animals that cry
Chorus:
Crash test! So what!
Crash test! So what!
Catastrophies
To the animal species
Politically correct
On animals, to dissect?
What does it mean
When animals can dream?
Destroying a pure life
Only for a price
Repeat Chorus
Animals that die
Animals that cry
Testing on their minds
Testing with their lives (X2)
Crash! Test!
Animals that die
Animals that cry
Testing on their minds
Testing with their lives
Repeat 1st verse, Chorus
Crash!
FLESH HOLD
Breaking out this stifled room
A jail cell, a stell tomb
To see the light
My mere existence
God's kill in sight
Confined in madness
Jurors hate criminal minds
They're making dates for killing time
Breaking out this stifled room
A jail cell, a stell tomb
One has to fight
For dissension
God's kill in sight
Confined in madness
Wasted life, tasted
Wasted life, tasted (X2)
Kill me!
One has to fight
For dissension
God's kill in sight
Confined in madness
Jurors hate criminal minds
They're making dates for killing time
LIFEBLIND
Chosen to speak
Truth of the weak
Where is your god?
Truth has been lost
Where is the way?
Whose life will pay?
No one is wrong
Grief is too strong
Lose the way
Pain today
Who can say
Who will pay
No wisdom
No vision
All is lost
Pain is lost
Repeat 2nd verse
Lose the way
Pain today
Who can say
Who will pay
No wisdom
No vision
All is lost
Pain is lost
All is lost
Pain is lost (X2)
SCUMGRIEF
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Wires around your arms
Like wires around your head
A crucifix of me
Above your bed
I've seen your wounds
That you can't hide
You bleed well
When I cry
Chorus:
Cry, cry, cry
Scumgrief, Scumgrief
Scumgrief, Scumgrief
Smell the rats of deviance
Coursing through your veins
Rotting faith in yourself
Confined alone to decay
I've seen your wounds
That you can't hide
You bleed well
With the rats inside (X2)
Repeat Chorus
ARISE ABOVE OPPRESSION
Rise above, rise above
Steal away to hide your shame
Rise above, rise above!
Rise above your oppression
Above the one that hates you
Above the one that lies
Above the one that hates
Death! Fear! Rage!
Rise above your depression
Above the one that kills
Above the one that hates
Above all of the pain
Fear! Death! Rage!
Rise above, rise above
Rise above, Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise above your oppression
Above the pain and suffering
Above the one that hates you
And kills you
Through all of your life
SELF IMMOLATION
Skin
Your scars
Surface is
Rusty blades
Chorus:
Self immolation crying out (4x)
Oblivion
Your weakness
Is your temper (2x)
Repeat Chorus
Your god
High above
In your veins
Liquid sky
Repeat Chorus
Immortal
Your saviour
Destroys you
Destroys you
Repeat Chorus
SUFFER AGE
Compressed youthful voices
Suffer age
Below John's floors
Spoilage
Lingering death
Gagging your fears
Dead in horror
Grizzly facial stare
Unbelievable atrocity
Hateful monstrosity
Draining scientific minds
Pathological deeds
Creator
Executionor
Heresy
God's vision destroyed
Sinister joker
Childhood dreams
Laughing corruption
Compressed youthful voices
Suffer age
Below John's floors
Spoilage
W.O.E.
Caught beneath visions of hatred
Drowning fast in sounds of silence
Caught between divisions of hate
Can't breathe under this weight of existence
Chorus:
Too strong,
Too strong for you
Too strong,
Too strong for you
Repeat 1st verse, Chorus
Drowning (4x)
ESCAPE CONFUSION
Escape, escape
Escape confusion
Escape animosity (X2)
From morality
A morbid animosity
Addicted to the epidemic
That deteriorates progression
Escape confusion
Escape animosity
Desperately washing away
The gore that's hidden beneath the dismay
Thoughts of eternal despair
And self hate
Escape confusion
Escape animosity
Terrorism within
Dreams become reality
Visions of hope
Attempt to escape
Attempt to escape
Attempt to escape the sickness!
Terror
Dreams become reality
Visions of hope
Attempt to escape
Attempt to escape
Attempt to escape the sickness!
MANIPULATION
Your conniving words
Are childishly insane
To get what you want
You'll say anything
In your mind
You lust to control me
You lust
For control
Chorus:
Mold me, fold me
Mold me, fold me
My pain is your pleasure
My agony excites you
Desperate for a change
But change comes within
I'm not staying
Not around you
I'm stronger than you think
Much stronger than you
Repeat Chorus
Molding and folding
Lusting for control (X3)
Longing to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams
Dying to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams
Molding and folding
Lusting for control
Hatred is a tool
Thoughtlessly you use
Ruin an only friend
With misleading rules
Contain your own rage
Give yourself praise
'Cause you have no shame
With your callous game
Repeat Chorus
