Witness a blinding light, 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 thats alive
Standing at the face of death

Walk through the ashes of man
Skin like fields on fire
Pain is only a weakness
Death is just an escape
We are connected like tissue
Feed on the shame you've raised
Why continue the harvest?

In my eyes stagnation surrounds
Blood that life beaten and bound
An act of mercy, a scene pain
There is no difference
It's all in your name

Sever mortality from existence
Disconnect the chains of fate

There is no meaning in your death anymore

Your god is just a lie
Void of all meaning

Consequences that had left me for dead
Repercussions that went straight to your head
Trusting in no one
Believing in nothing
Living in a world of pure deception
So far this life is contemptuous
This mind, a gun, so relentless
- Dark Bodies
Dark bodies floating in darkness
No sign of light ever given
Imprisoned in a world without a memory
Unconscious, or am I conscious?
Cut from the heart I am part of
Sometimes it feels as though I'm frozen in heaven
And I saw my own face in the black lonely space
- Dead Man Walking
All of you here that are secretly dead
Just lifeless shells, consumed and dread

Follow the trends to share a single mind
You are so blind! You are so blind!
You are so blind to the lie!
I can see, I can see into the void of your mind

Prefabricated, no sympathy
My mind lay bare to world depression
My man made soul in isolation
I have been scraped by humanity
Darkness confines every injury

Falling victim from neglect
Designed thoughts and intellect
Forgotten and displaced

Dog Day Sunrise
Every day of my life
I'm working on a scheme
Working overtime underground
Girls work under floors
The failures tend the moors
But once the seem is cut
They find out what is learned

You waste away
A spinning cage
Rats blinded by the sun
You spend your days
Stuck in that race
And life has just begun
- 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...

Burn away the shade
Where babies were born and played
In the corporate eyes
These murdering machines
Seeds of destruction
Feeding their hate
Slowly killing Indians
- Edgecrusher
Conceived in a hell beyond your depth of perception
Chaotic case of conquerring domination
Psychopath snaps fired chains of imprisonment
A bludgeoning force that's undermining the government

A paralyzed mind embracing decay
Dead like carrion just wasting away

Your blinded words in front of you
What do you know about the truth?
Devalued as, as soon as we're cast
We were never made to last
Just bodies made and fabricated
We're fighting towards, our life extension
We're living for our expiration
- Fear Campaign
Hate, war and terror, murder, disaster

Fear is suffering, intimidate to obey
Fear is control, suffering is hell
Police enforce obedient behavior
Manufactured weapon of conformity
Fears of war and pestilence
Fear of loss and failure

- Genexus
"Люди всегда боятся то, чего не понимают. Следующий шаг в эволюции-это машина; машина, которая может думать и чувствовать. Выжить-это все, что имеет значение”. - "Робот по имени Чаппи"
"Genexus" - десятый полноформатный альбом Fear Factory и третий полностью концептуальный после "The Industrialist".
Изначально Дино нашёл в интернете слово "Genexus", после чего совместно с Бёртоном вокруг него был придуман концепт. "Genexus" - комбинация двух слов "Genesis" (начало всего сущего) и "Nexus" (период, в котором мы пребываем сейчас). Для нас - для людей - "Genexus" - это следующая ступень эволюции, когда нано-технологии, устройства, бионика настолько сильно станут частью нашего существования, что различие между людьми и машинами станет незаметным. Когда-то мы были кроманьонцами, теперь мы Genexus.
Рей Курцвейл предсказал, что мы достигнем сингулярности в 2045 году. "Genexus" - термин, описывающий этот эволюционный процесс. Люди являются машинами и наоборот, и отличить одно от другого невооружённым взглядом невозможно.
Альбом затрагивает темы образа мышления, психологии и испытаний, с которыми сталкивается поколение Genexus. Мы получили образованные машины, которые хотят добиться автономности от индустрии, которая их создала. Машина находится в состоянии вечной борьбы, точно так же как человек на протяжении своего существования. Эта история о каждом из нас.
Главными источниками вдохновения послужили работы Рея Курцвейла и художественный фильм "Blade Runner", а именно главный персонаж Рой Бетти, которого играет Рутгер Хауэр. В заглавном треке "Genexus" можно услышать сэмпл из картины - "That's what it is to be a slave". Эту реплику произносит Бетти, репликант, на которого по сюжету кинофильма ведётся охота.

They are not one of us
Disconnected and unwanted
- Hi-Tech Hate
These weapons of mass destruction
Around our world, threat to us all
Operated by fears, cold over years
Systematic death, terminal breath!
Leaders of our time just stand behind
An arsenal to end us all
Fighting a war, we can't ignore
- Human Shields
So much violence in our name
A life, a silence masked in shame
Children running in the streets
Soldier boots are on their feet
Mothers bare the burdens of our defeats
Fathers are on their knees praying for mercy

All that you have
And you really have nothing
To show for the life that's your own
Suddenly you realize
That this world has no meaning
And you're left alone
I fall down into your own despair
- Industrial Discipline
There is no dissension when lives have been broken
Enslaved and beaten
Lies have been spoken

Only a machine remains
Beaten into submission
That's what it is to be slaved
- Invisible Wounds
dark bodies floating in darkness

Born into a world

Slave to the industry, faceless in the machine
You do not realize you're dehumanized
You cannot survive, unless you comply
I built it to break it down
We become mechanized
Dawn of our extinction, the human affliction
- Millenium
I was born to see two thousand years
Of man's effect upon the planet
Extinction seems to be a plausible risk

Violence in my head
Like a thorn that pierced my skin
Spilling strength on the floor where I stand
It surrounds me, controls me
Shows weakness inside me
They’ve tried to kill me
But they won’t succeed!
- Obsolete
Obsolete (Устаревший)
Следующий трек "Obsolete" начинается с читаемого Гэри Ньюманом текста. Это слова солдата Секьюритрона, который берет мегафон в руки сразу после того, как митингующие принимаются бежать. Очевидно, что главный посыл песни в том, что "люди, как и мир, устарели" ("our world [is] obsolete).
Человек вычеркнул себя из истории. В самом начале бог создал человека. Со временем, эволюционировав, человек уничтожил бога. Человек создал машины, которые должны были заменить бога. Когда цикл сборки завершится, машины уничтожат человека. Эволюция приняла необычный поворот.

The smallest part, a single spark
Can leave this world in ashes
The fire inside, burns my mind
And set to destroy the masses
Consuming tide, floods my mind
Filling my soul with rage
Just one spark in my heart
To damn this world flames
- Piss Christ
Эта песня осуждает самую большую фабрику страха, известную человечеству. У нашего лидера возникает вопрос существования и веры в "высшие силы". Главный вопрос: "Где теперь твой спаситель?" Не может быть никакого оправдания очевидной промывке мозгов с последующим подчинением.

My chains are paper thin, and they're welded with ink
Sealed inside a legal trap, so tight blood don't leave

God! Help me pour this gas on me!
I need to drown in flames to be free!

You'll never take my soul
You'll never take my soul

No soul, I gotta have all control, before I break
No soul, you'll never take my control, I dominate

Like the knife into my back,
Cold hate within my spine,
Freezing my nerves,

Casting off the shadows that darken your mind

- The Industrialist
"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 of humanity in all cultures... the reluctance of acceptance... Bigotry, ignorance and narrow mindedness destroying our world..."
