Archetype Lyrics by Fear Factory

Archetype

2004

[Verse 1]
You must never forget
The essence of your spark
All of which that defines you
Is the essence of your blood

[Pre-Chorus]
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved

[Chorus]
Look in to my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real?
This is real!
What you wish to be!

[Verse 2]
You must never forget
To modernize performance
Malignancies on the system
Will handicap, slow up and rust

[Pre-Chorus]
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved

[Chorus]
Look in to my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real?
This is real!
What you wish to be!

[Bridge]
Fuck!
Can you see?
Can you see?

[Chorus]
Look in to my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real?
This is real!
What you wish to be!

[Outro]
Open your eyes (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Open your eyes (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Open your eyes (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Open your eyes (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Open your eyes (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Open your eyes (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
