Shock

Welcome to my world
Headfirst to the Earth
With my sights on the goddamned kill switch
I've become a fuse
Charged with attitude
Fixed and dilated by my anger

I have become a direct
I have become a current
I have become a direct
I have become insurgent

I will be the power surge
Shock to the system
Electrified amplified
Shock to the system

Alternate my wires
Heat my core desire
I will not stand for condemnation
I've become the volts
To lead the revolt
F*ck with me ensues certain danger

I have become a direct
I have become a current
I have become a direct
I have become insurgent

I will be the power surge
Shock to the system
Electrified, amplified
Shock to the system

I am the power surge
I am the insurgent
Electrified, amplified
Electrified, amplified

Shock!

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

Inflict strain upon the structure

Collapsing below my pressure

Inflict strain upon the structure

Collapsing below my pressure

Break of the Edgecrusher...

The purist, non-conformist, jaded subhuman terrorist

From flesh to steel and blood to blade I fight to exist

A rival of justice, extreme rush of hatred

Survival in a twisted world where nothing is sacred

Inflict strain upon the structure

Collapsing below my pressure

Inflict strain upon the structure

Collapsing below my pressure

Break of the Edgecrusher...

Smasher/Devourer

Fear me not but fear my hell
Man made me so I could kill
Praise me in the name of war
I destroy both rich and poor
I am the way, prepare for salvation
I am the way, prepare for salvation
Strength in time of suffering
Man alone is a weakling
Ascension is what you ask
I will be the fall of man
I am the way, prepare for salvation
I am the way, prepare for salvation
Salvation
Those of you who dare to stray
I will tear your mind away
Those of you who dare to stray
I will take your life away
Salvation
I am the way, prepare for salvation
I am the way, prepare for salvation
Salvation

Descent

Falling victim from neglect
Designed thoughts and intellect
Forgotten and displaced
The crux of my dismay

I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
I am nothing

How deep I descend?
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

How deep I descend?
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

Deeper into this obyss
Weighted down and sinking fast
Life did not offer me
More than false destiny

I feel nothing
I am nothing 
I feel nothing
I am nothing

How deep I descend?
Until I reach my end?

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

Destined to fall, cowards to all!...

We are losing, weapons controlling

This is the hour of your reckoning

These weapons of mass destruction

Around our world, threat to us all!

Fighting a war, we can't ignore

Destined to fall, cowards to all!...

We are losing, weapons controlling

This is the hour of your reckoning

No more arsenal threatens all

Heading for a downfall

Mass destruction, mass destruction

Mass destruction for all

Freedom Or Fire

How can you accept social supression

This weak state of mind in our time

I demand release from hypocrisy

I'd rather die than be held down, forced down

Freedom or fire

Freedom or fire

I'm on the threshold of revolution

I'd rather burn than be held down, forced down

Freedom or fire

Freedom or fire

Unrestrained determination

Set ablaze for liberation

Locked in chains of this sovereignty

Let me be 'cause I long to be

Free! Free!

Unrestrained determination

Set ablaze for liberation

Set ablaze

Obsolete

Nothing is the way it seems
Discerning man from machines now

Dominate as to erase
Wiping man off Earth's face now

Defaced by all the inept justice
Shamed by the mental abuses
Branded 'inferior weakness'
Ordered to cease and desist!

Man is obsolete!
Our world, obsolete!
Man is obsolete!
Erased, extinct!
Obsolete!

Fueling engines through deceit
To eradicate humanity

Defaced by all the inept justice
Shamed by the mental abuses
Branded 'inferior weakness'
Ordered to cease and desist!

Man is obsolete!
Our world, obsolete!
Man is obsolete!
Erased, extinct!

Resurrection

Consumed with memories that preceded today

Given a chance to bereave life that's slipping away

Suffered through tradegy of my slow decay

Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away

All that I know there was no God for me

Force that shatters all, absence of mortality

Revive all my fears

Revive wasted tears

Revive void withing

Revive once again...

Forsaken by destiny, forsaken by my own mind

I must remove my skin to see belief in your eyes

All that I know there was no god for me

Force that shatters all, absence of humanity

Revive all my fears

Revive wasted tears

Revive void withing

Revive once again...

Reach for the sky

Touch the sky

Revive a hope

For mankind

Timelessness

[The quote that runs throughout the song:]

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious,

makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part;

you can't even passively take part,

and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus,

and you've got to make it stop.

And you've got to indicate to the people who run it,

to the people who own it,

that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"

[Mario Savo, 1964]

I've felt darkness

closing in on me

Chilling shadows

surrounding me

I've had the poison

leak into my skin

And it corroded my heart away

Bled away

Cut away

Dark night of my soul...

Obsolete Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

Obsolete (styled as °BSΩLE+e) is the third studio album by American industrial metal band Fear Factory, released on July 28, 1998, through Roadrunner Records. It was produced by Fear Factory, Greg Reely and Rhys Fulber, the latter of whom wrote, arranged and performed all of the album's keyboard parts, and was the band's first full album to feature bassist Christian Olde Wolbers, who performed on around half of the tracks of the band's previous album Demanufacture (1995).

Musically, the album saw Fear Factory experiment with their sound, featuring a more "organic" groove than the band's previous album. The band's first fully fledged concept album, Obsolete revolves around a story penned by vocalist Burton C. Bell, "Conception 5", set in the year 2076 where machines have taken over mankind.

With the success of its fourth single, a cover version of "Cars" by Gary Numan, featuring Numan himself on vocals, Obsolete would break Fear Factory into the mainstream and remain their highest selling album.

Performed by: Fear Factory
Genre(s): Nu metal, groove metal, industrial metal
