Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night, or strolling through the park
[Verse 2]
When the light begins to fade
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
[Verse 3]
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
[Verse 8]
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
[Verse 9]
Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
And though your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind
[Verse 10]
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
[Verse 11]
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
[Verse 12]
When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone
[Verse 13]
Scream for me, Brazil...
