Fear Factory - 04 - Securitron (Police State 2000)

The scene cuts to a dark alleyway. There is garbage scattered across the ground, and the only light available creeps around the corners of various structures. Sounds of helicopters and sirens are nearly inaudible. EDGECRUSHER traverses over the city with tenacity and stealth, constantly aware of the watchful monitors of the SECURITRON system. The visible red glow of the camera eye is purposely conspicuous, to maintain the order. To let you know you are clearly under surveillance.
EDGECRUSHER is forced to take flight underground. He descends into the shadows below street level.
The only refuge he can find is within the refuse. He knows that he is safe from incident from any enforcer among the trash. He proceeds onward despite his odds.


LYRICS

Invade and encompass to judge and dissect
Witness and persecute to serve and protect
To serve, and protect to serve
To serve, and protect to serve

Watchful and aware, contrain every movement
Admit the consequences, freedom's an illusion

Where is security governed through scrutiny?
Your privacy denied, organized and confined!
No place to hide!
No place to hide!

There is no place to hide
Plugged in your mind
Conformed design

To concede your rights
Concede your mind
Surrender to authority

"All must abide and all must adhere"
Future oppression becoming more clear
This is a warning so you must take heed
This coming vision is reality

Where is security governed through scrutiny?
Your privacy denied, organized and confined!
No place to hide
No place to hide...


-The scene fades out with EDGECRUSHER running down a deserted street, away from the camera and into
the night.


Obsolete is the third album by Fear Factory, released on Roadrunner Records in 1998. It is their best selling album to date.
The album tells a story about the future of mankind and how machines have taken over humanity. This was inspired by the band's belief that humanity has become too reliant on technology.
However, a hero named Edgecrusher sets out to destroy the machines and save humanity. The story of Obsolete was inspired by books like The Boys from Brazil, Brave New World, and 1984.
