Moment Of Impact Lyrics
Every image of my life flashes before my eyes
Going to the precise time of my demise
My said prayers of circumstance have recently expired
My soul, my life
I could never dream my life would end this way
Cross my heart and hope to die, fade to the black
Brace myself the time is now the moment of impact
My soul, my life
Will hide, In spite
I pray, My cross
In spite
My fears of impending doom that I'm about to die
The shock
The trauma
Brace myself for the impact
The shock
The trauma
Brace myself for the impact
I can hardly breathe 'cause I am choking on this deadly scream
The shock
The trauma
Brace myself for the impact
The shock
The trauma
Brace myself for the impact
The shock
The trauma
Brace myself for the impact
The shock
The trauma
Brace myself for the impact
Another awesome song by Fear Factory! It describes the idea of coming face to face with a situation where you know you could die, or, if you believe, know this could be the moment you live for the first time. As always with Fear Factory, this song touchs base with personal and religous notions of belief vs. disbelief and fear vs. preserverence in times of uncertainty.
This song is very powerfull in the sense that its meaning is very clear and that meaning is that one who believes can still doubt and one who doubts can still believe. The hope and fight inside of us to make it out alive during the "Moment Of Impact". The choice to live or die in that moment is ours. Thats what I believe personally. Very Powerfull!
Makes a great workout song!
What i read somewhere is its about simulating being in a crashing plane(sadly) or a crashing car (as shown in the video) so yeah its basically about dieing. Im surprised this album wasnt also considered death metal for songs like this lol.
Well... I hope it means something else, but it seems like its about dying and thats the end of it. No afterlife. All beliefs of religion, haven, hell, or whatever are nothing and you just "fade to the black." Lines like The shock, the trauma, pray in spite.....etc kind of explain it a little. I'm probably wrong but thats what came to mind after listening.
Either that or its just about getting your ass kicked by something or someone. lol.
