Manifestation of Fear

In a dangerous environment, a single mother fights against tradition. Protecting her son from the corrupt influences surrounding them both. She tries to raise him as a good and honest person. Year after year, many sacrifices have to be made, but the white lies and tales she tells each Christmas, cause the child to develop a warped perception of life. Verse Danger lurks in every place A mother fights to protect her child Tradition stipulates its way It's easy for them to say Influences all around Hard to change, creatures of habit Sacrifices must be made A few white lies she must tell Bridge The pressure lay on her shoulders Decisions unfair Desperately seeking comfort Searching for strength not there Chorus Have no fear Unorthodox ways, unorthodox methods Alone and afraid, different from others All alone She carries the strain, the future uncovers Hide your tears Verse Years of hardship and of pain Corruption lingers in all the dark corners Her efforts are in vain His perception of life has changed Don't waste your time He's lost, it's time to pray Bridge Stupid to point a finger, she isn't to blame Believing that life will bring him strength The courage to find his way (Repeat chorus)

Four walls, a ceiling, and a constant fear of the unknown. Driven by a mother's instinct to protect her child, her worst nightmares materialise before her very eyes. Verse A constant fear she has A mother's instinct to protect His innocence her child, must not be influenced Surreal nightmares they appear Before her very eyes The walls start closing in, then the madness begins Bridge The consequences of her actions Into a life of stress he came Chorus Frenzy, frenzy On the edge of a nervous breakdown A living hell, going crazy Frenzy, frenzy The unknown, eats your soul alive Your heart pounds, your blood is boiling Verse In her chaotic mind The darkest secrets she would tell And smothered them with tales, Not for others A psychological affect, she'd created Caused the child to change, he was never the same (Repeat bridge & chorus) Ad-libs All the king's horses and all the king's men Telling insane stories over again

Growing up in extreme poverty, and living in a town filled with empty promises, the young boy is filled with scepticism. He battles between right and wrong. Facing a horrifying decision, which no child should have to make, his whole life could be turned upside down. Does he listen to the wishes of his kind, but stressful mother, to remain living in poverty, and be persecuted by many? The alternative is to take a road into crime and deception, with his so called friends. Either way he'll suffer the consequences. Verse His mother sad, now she's left alone No shoulder to cry on, no hand to hold To stay alive, worked her fingers to the bone Guilt nor shame, her child must have a home She tried to teach him right from wrong A town without vision, they don't belong Eternal friends, persuasive lies Tainted images, through sorry eyes Bridge Don't be shy, pull up a stool, stick with us You'll do okay Money talks, that's their rule, Once you join, you're here to stay you can't walk away Chorus Lord knows she tried hard to save him The angel without wings Verse Stigmatised, the poor, the few Opportunities given, but not to you He searched along the corridors of power A fruitless journey, his darkest hour Bridge By any rule he doesn't play, Now he's the keeper, no-one's fool Who said crime doesn't pay All his fears have disappeared Chorus Lord knows she tried so hard, to save him Lord knows she tried so hard, to save him Middle-8 The angel without wings Time, will it tell, a choice of heaven or hell (Repeat chorus) Outro The years have passed by, the leaves have fallen Learn to survive in time, you're on your own

Having taken a path of no return, he develops a personality of power, and turns supreme manipulation into an art form. On the surface he portrays a person being of caring and consideration, while his dark side hides calmly, until the moment of truth can appear. Verse Full of charm, so open minded Lets you talk 'till you're blue in the face Compassion sincere His own portrayal, the proud example to others When in fact, a covenant he's made With the dark side of hell Bridge Wait! Don't be fooled by him Stop! don't go near him His appearance can change, like the chameleon Chorus We're all his helpless subjects And like his damaged toys Once they're of no importance With savage grace destroys Verse So supreme, a master to many An' acts like a friend, offers comfort to all Patiently, telling wild fabrications Gaining your trust the thrill, the thrill of it all (Repeat bridge & chorus) Get ready to run!

Obsessed with dominance, he crushes each person who innocently crosses his path. His adrenalin thrives on a need to destroy basis. His skill to deceive gains him vast wealth and fortune. However any trace of his original character or identity vanishes into oblivion. Verse No compromise, no words can make him see He's elevated to a higher level To feed a need, let the adrenalin flow A warped sensation, deceit is blissful Bridge Mystified by lies, demoralizing No second glance, face to face Thru' those naked eyes, captivating He'll suck you dry, and leave no trace Chorus Once inside your head, the captive mind his game Manipulates his way, terrorizing Secrets kept alive, subconscious thoughts awake Watch him take control, hypnotizing Verse A master of, pure deception His testimony that, that he's a freak of nature (Repeat bridge & chorus) Ad-libs Take a look into those eyes And I can tell you what you'll see

Paranoia slowly starts to take effect. His huge fortune has created many enemies. In haste he searches for solitude. Secluded from the outside world, he lives in a fragile sense of security. Locked away he hopes to find peace of mind, but instead he's haunted by the terrifying images in his dreams. Images of those whose lives he so mercilessly helped to destroy. Verse All of that money you've made From all of those souls with their lives they've paid now Lost your pride, locked inside Where's the light at the end of the road Bridge Blame and sorrow No more day, just, tomorrow Close the door, turn the key Lock the misery away! You're living in an ivory tower Verse All of the guilt you should feel when all of the torment you caused was real Truth you've found, changed your made At the end of the road there's a light Bridge So many places, hidden lies, saddened faces Close the door take the key, try and throw it away far, far away Chorus In a solitary day There's a solitary point of view Hide the fear away! That's the price you have to pay Middle-8 They're coming to get you, put boards on your windows It won't take 'em long 'till they find out a way Don't sleep stay awake now, look over your shoulder Your enemy's coming to take you away! Chorus In a solitary day, there's a solitary point of view Hide your fear away, it strips away the good in you (Repeat chorus)

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

Sadly his mother watches helplessly, as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in. Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain, the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear. Frustration turns to confused anger. She still can't come to terms with the fact that her husband took his own life. "Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me? Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?" All the while her son is silently crying out for help. Intro Looking back in time, Without consent. two lovers ran away A tragic tale, so often made So sad and destined to fail Verse They're in and out of every place Searchin' hard a sad disgrace At best a darkened room, without a view Those memories, still remain Never once did she complain Now time repeats itself, all over again Bridge What he did, was insane Sadly his own life he'd take And you've been left to face the guilt, alone Chorus Just try to remember He was a victim of circumstance Close your eyes, try to recall The strength you felt Now, is the time to be stronger Than you've ever been before Bury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame Verse Don't analyze, come to terms Face the truth, don't turn away Where there's a will, there has to be a way Into the world, your child came Responsibility or shame He backed away from you, don't lose him again Ad-libs You're not alone! you've got to be stronger

Ignored and hated by many, he can't stand the very sight of himself. Believing only that people wish him harm, while all the time there is a sympathetic eye from an admiring lady. As the years pass, she slowly gains his trust, but not without incident. Being of a passive and loving nature, she helps to transform his anger with regression. Eventually his fears are changed into a positive belief in the goodness we all possess. Verse Ignored by the many, adored by the chosen few Friends he hasn't any, just his own point of view Bridge There stands a lady inbetween the shadows Waiting patiently for you Holding out her hand she whispers Together we'll pull through She transforms his anger Helps him wipe away the tears Chorus I'll be there, standing next to you I'll be there I will pray, I will pray for you 'Cos you're one of the forgotten children Outro One of the, one of those forgotten children One of the forgotten friends Cast away those sins forgiven Fight on, fight on to the end You?ve gotta fight on

Gradually he no longer hates the world, nor himself. Once the epitome of all that's evil, now is a guiding light. His reformation, to put right his wrong doings. Thus he is able, together with the strength from a kind heart, to search out the damaged souls from his wicked past. Not only to repay them in money, but also to give the reassurance and belief, that mankind has the ability to change for the good. Verse Infantile dillusion, played the biggest part Anger caused confusion A childhood fear, of fear itself Mere mortals playing god It's time to stop, feel the yearning Mother Nature's calling you, a metamorphosis working Bridge Your body's aching all the time A shadow lurking Your saviour's waiting in the wings Verse Night turns to day, only shame remains real Take their misery away, redeem Heal the pain they feel Bridge A chance to turn it all around, a time for sharing Bury your fears into the ground Chorus Met-a-morphosis Put your hatred aside, hear the calling Metamorphosis A transformation of kind forming, a season of good is dawning Middle-8 Put away those evil thoughts Open up your heart and breathe Chorus Met-a-morphosis Put your hatred aside, hear the calling Metamorphosis A transformation of kind, a season of good is dawning Hear the calling, have no fear! Outro The cries of tomorrow, was all you could hear But the road you have chosen, has wiped away the tears Silence is golden - silence is real.
