540,000 Degrees Fahrenheit

Fear Factory · Transgression [2005]

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

Terror stealing your last breath



Watch the firestorm incinerate you into ash!



All that you know burns away into dust

So many lives

So many inocent

Burn!



Every particle returns to its natural form

Ashes into ashes blown away just like the dust

Heaven burning with the sky

Hell is not the reason why



Feel the firestorm melting your spirit into glass!



All that you know burns away into dust

So many lives

So many innocent

Burn!



So many lives

So many innocent



All that you know burns away into dust

So many lives

So many innocent



So many lives

So many innocent

(repeat)



Burn!

(repeated until the end)
