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

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

   

Lightning Strike Twice

I feel the breeze on my face in expectance
Not very long before the storm reaches here
Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again
Feel something strong as the power draws near

Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you
Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear
But all I know as I sit in a corner alone
It takes me back to my childhood again

And as I wait and I look for an answer
To all the things going round in my head
I ask myself could it be a disaster and when
It's maybe threatening to happen again

As the ominous light draws near
There's a lone dog howls in the park
All the people hurry inside
As a lightning flash lights dark
The storm is nearly here
Only God will know

You're sitting alone you watch
As the wind is blowing treetops
And the swaying rustling leaves
Plenty of time to perceive
As you wait for rain to fall
Only God knows
The whole sky glows

Maybe lightning strikes twice

   

The Number Of The Beast

(Oh to you oh earth and sea
For the devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
It's number is six hundred and sixty six)

I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind

What did I see, can I believe that what I saw
That night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw, in my old dreams were they
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

Cos in my dreams, it's always there, the evil face that
Twists my mind and brings me to despair

The night was black, was no use holding back
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was this all real or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry, hand s held to the sky
In the night, the fire were bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on, I must inform he law
Can this stll be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise... can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me

I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body
And I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have have the power to make my evil
Take it's course
