You must never forget
The essence of your spark
All of that which defines you
Is the essence of your blood
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved [x2]
Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real
This is real
What you wish to be [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/fear_factory/archetype.html ]
You must never forget
To modernize performance
Malignancies on the system
Will handicap slow up and rust
The infection has been removed
The soul of this machine has improved [x2]
Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real
This is real
What you wish to be
Fuck!
Can you see
Can you see
Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
Someone real
This is real
What you wish to be
Open your eyes (open your eyes, open your eyes) [x7]

In addition, the band directed this song against former guitar player dino cazares, who had left the band after afalling out with bell. The line, "the infection has been removed, the soul of this machine has improved! " validates this.
This song is about fear factory being the original and the one everyone bases off of, hence the name "archetype". They talk about others being original but still turning back to them for guidance (this is real/what you wish to be) and that they shouldn't be forgotten or taken lightly, as they defined an entire genre (you must never forget/the essence of your spark).
