Lyrics Steve Harris - Fear of the Dark

I am a man, who walks alone,
And when I’m walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park...

When the light begins to change,
I sometimes feel a little strange...
A little anxious when it’s dark..

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark..
I have constant fear that something’s always near...
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark..
I have a phobia that someone’s always there!

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you’re searching for the light?
Sometimes when you’re scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You’ve sensed that something’s watching you!

Have you ever been alone at night,
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one’s there?
And as you quicken up your pace,
You find it hard to look again,
Because you’re sure there’s someone there!

Watching horror films the night before,
Debating witches and folklores,
The unknown troubles on your mind...
Maybe your mind is playing tricks,
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind!

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark!
I have constant fear that something’s always near!
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark!
I have a phobia that someone’s always there!
(x2)

When I’m walking a dark road,
I am a man who walks alone
