[Music: Henk van der Laars & Dirk Bruinenberg]

[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]



Captivated by his addiction for over indulgence, 

his abuse of people touches the very core 

of what mankind perceives as being uncivilised. 

Hatred, like an infection, spreads from one victim to another. 

The resulting factor is a broken spirit; a shadow of his former self. 

Suffocating in his own remorse, he fears the unexpected. 

His nervousness takes a form of it's own. 

It manifests and takes control. 

To him it's real. 

He's unaware that his mind has shut out his surroundings. 

Isolated and alone, he starts to fear, fear itself. 



[Verse]

You know what they say, your many victims 

What comes around, goes around 

Over indulgence, uncivilized 

Uncertainty, created your discontentment



[Bridge]

His spirit is broken, lives in a world unreal 

An infectious hatred 

See how it feels 

Now look at you



[Chorus]

Manifestation of fear 

Man's own creation 

Manifestation of fear 

The mind's exaggeration



[Verse]

First the unexpected, then the unexplained 

Being a victim, that makes him so afraid 

The resulting factor, his fear's coming alive 

Silently, he's slowly suffocating



[Bridge]

His spirit is broken, lives in a world unreal 

Suffer gods children, see how it feels 

Now look at you



[Repeat chorus]



[Middle-8]

Locked away, all alone 

He doesn't know what to expect 

Afraid of fear, fear itself 

To manifest, taking control
