[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
|
