Fear of the Dark

Now I'm here can you see me
'Cos I'm out on my own
When the room goes cold tell me you can feel me
... 'cos I'm here

Here I am can you see me
Passing through on my way
To a place where I'd been to only in my dreams
... before

In a world of delusion
Never turn your back on a friend
'Cause you can count your real true friends on one hand
... through life
There are those that decieve you
There are those that'll let you down
Is there someone out there that would die for you
... thought not

Live your life with a passion
Everything you do, do well
You get out of life what you put in
... so they say

In a world of confusion
People never say what they mean
If you want a straight answer go look for one
... right now

In a room full of strangers
Do you stand with your back to the wall
Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside
... looking in?

You can make your own luck
You can create your destiny
I believe you have the power if you want to
... it's true

You can do what you want to
If you try a little bit harder
A little bit of faith goes a long way
... it does

Are we here for a reason?
I'd like to know just what you think
It would be nice to know what happens when we die
... wouldn't it?

There are some who are wise
There are some who are born naive
I believe that there are some that have lived before
... don't you?

As for me well I'm thinking
You gotta keep an open mind
But I hope my life is not an open and
... shut case

Extra Sensory Perception
Life After Death telepathy
Can the soul live on and travel through
... space and time

You know I feel so elated
'Cause I'm about to find it out
And when I know all the answers maybe then I'll come back
... to fill you in

You don't be alarmed now
If I try to contact you
If things go missing or get moved around
... it's me

And don't disbelieve it
No matter what your 'friends' might say
We'll meet up again some place some way
... one day

Covered in sinners
and dripping with guilt
Making your money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers

You got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven the thief in your head
You got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven the thief in your head
Be quick!
Or be dead!
Be quick!
Or be dead!

See... what's ruling all our lives
See... who's pulling strings
See... what's ruling all our lives
See... who's pulling strings

I bet you won't fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place

The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He sais you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind

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 a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's allways 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 wiches and folklore
The unkown 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 a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's allways there

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

I'd sail across the ocean
I'd walk a hundred miles
If I could make it to the end
Oh just to see a smile

You see it in their faces
The sadness in their tears
The desperation and the anger
Madness and the fear

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here

Starvation and the hunger
The suffering and the pain
The agonies of all - out war
When will it come again

The struggle for the power
A tyrant strikes again
Just what the hell is going on
When will it ever end
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here

You see the full moon float
You watch the red sun rise
We take these things for granted
But somewhere someones dying

Contaminated waters
Pollution and decay
Just waitng for disease to stike
Oh will we learn someday?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed
Childhood's end

On a cold October morning
As frost lay on the ground
Waiting to make my move I made no sound

Waiting for the mist
To cover all around
I carefully picked my time then took the wall

I'm sick and tired of running
The hunger and the pain
A stop to look about then off again

Being at the wrong place
And at the wrong time
Suspected of a hit that was my crime

I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name

Even if I find them
And get to clear my name
I know that things can never be the same

But if I ever proof
My innocence some day
I've got to get them all to make them pay

I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name

She fell in love with his geasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
She'd never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting more more more

When she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He wispered to her to get on the back
'I'll take you on a ride form here to eternity'

Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like she on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the engine sigh

But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devil's bend
The beast and charlotte they were two of a kind
They'd always take the line from here to eternity

Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
