Fear Of The Dark - Death On The Road

Cut from the live album. The greatest song from Bruce before he left the band back in the 90's (he later rejoined). Lyrics:

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 thas 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
Throuh your 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 folklore
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 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.

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

@leonardpoppunkmetal Nice "Far Side" reference, but that's about it.

I don't care if you're a long time fan or one of the new generation of fans, this song is one of their all time best. It's got great riffs, a hellova guitar solo, and a thirty second interval between the 4:00 and 4:30 minute mark where you can just head bang. The lyrics might be a little bit choppy, but then again I've noticed that's a pattern in a lot of Maiden songs. All in all, 10 out of 10 in my book. Keep on rockin'! \\m//
