Elegy - Manifestation Of Fear lyrics

[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
