Fear of the Dark Song by Iron Maiden


 I am a man who walks alone

And when I'm walking a dark roadAt night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to changeI sometimes feel a little strangeA little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the darkFear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the darkFear of the darkI have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you run your fingers down the wallAnd have you felt your neck skin crawlWhen you're searching for the light?Sometimes when you're scared to take a lookAt the corner of the roomYou've sensed that something's watching you
Fear of the darkFear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the darkFear of the darkHave a phobia that someone's always there
Have you ever been alone at nightThought you heard footsteps behindAnd turned around and no one's there?And as you quicken up your paceYou find it hard to look againBecause you're sure there's someone there
Fear of the darkFear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the darkFear of the darkhave a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the darkFear of the darkFear of the darkFear of the dark
Fear of the darkFear of the darkFear of the darkFear of the dark
Watching horror films the night beforeDebating witches and folkloreThe unknown troubles on your mindMaybe your mind is playing tricksYou sense and suddenly eyes fixOn dancing shadows from behind
Fear of the darkFear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the darkFear of the darkHave a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the darkFear of the darkI have a constant fear that something's always nearFear of the darkFear of the darkHave a phobia that someone's always there
When I'm walking a dark roadI am a man who walks alone
