Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden

Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden

I am a man who walks aloneAnd when Im walking a dark roadAt night or strolling through the parkWhen the light begins to changeI sometimes feel a little strangeA little anxious when its darkFear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a constant fear that someones always nearFear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a phobia that someones allways thereHave you run your fingers down the wallAnd have you felt your neck skin crawlWhen youre searching for the light? Sometimes when youre scared to take a lookAt the corner of the roomYouve sensed that somethings watching youHave you ever been alone at nightThought you heard footsteps behindAnd turned around and no ones there? And as you quicken up your paceYou find it hard to look againBecause youre sure theres someone thereWatching horror films the night beforeDebating wiches and folkloreThe unkown troubles on your mindMaybe your mind is playing tricksYou sense and suddenly eyes fixOn dancing shadows from behindFear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a constant fear that someones always nearFear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a phobia that someones allways thereWhen Im walking a dark roadI am a man who walkes alone

* This song is related to the theme of "The Colomber" because throughout his life, Stefano is constantly afraid of the Colomber. He feels like the Colomber is always out there waiting to kill him, and he lets the fear drive him crazy.
