[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
