Track 7 from Fear Factory's second studio album, "Demanufacture", released in 1995 on Roadrunner Records.
Fear Factorys innovative approach towards, and hybridization of the genres of industrial metal, death metal and alternative metal has had a lasting impact on metal music ever since the release of their first album in 1992. Fear Factory is noteworthy among contemporaries for their lyrical focus on science fiction, with much of their music telling a single story spanning several concept albums.
LYRICS
I clench my teeth and realize
My world is so near its demise
A dying sun in a poisonous sky
Stinging my eyes
Burning with contempt and conflict
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
I clench my fist and visualize
The blood that is spilled is our own
I open wide my bloodshot eyes
Count the dead
A result of disfunction
[Chorus:]
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
Pound, drive, swing, strike
Break down, smash down
Pound and drive, swing and strike
Break it down
I am a tool
[Repeat chorus (X2)]
I am a tool...
I am a tool to break down
Break it down and smash it all away
