Track 11 (final track) from Digimortal, Fear Factory's fourth studio album, released on April 24, 2001 by Roadrunner Records. It is considered a concept album and a sequel to Obsolete, their previous album (which was itself a continuation to Demanufacture) and the final part of a trilogy.
The concept is about how man and machine have merged into one. The surviving humans and the machines realize they have to depend on each other if they are going to continue on. The title of the album is actually short for "Digital Mortality".
This was the band's last album before officially breaking up in March, 2002. Frontman Burton C. Bell had decided to quit after putting out this album, but the band reformed later in the same year to put out their next album Archetype in 2004. Digimortal was the last to feature founding guitarist/songwriter Dino Cazares for 7 years until he came back.

LYRICS
after the smoke clears
and the flames subside
(we have been forsaken...)
a thousand eyes were upon me
soulless, and without mind
(we have been forsaken...)
will there never be an end?
if i could be forgiven
every breath would be a prayer
(we are not forgiven...)
will there never be an end?
i have tread, and spanned the horizon
i've seen this world, the beauty in decay
i strike down the faceless and unknown
i feel blessed, for i can see
the stars look down on me...
will there never be an end?
as the stars look down on me...
