Hold a halo round the world Golden is the day Princes of the Universe, your burden is the way So there is no better time, who will be born today A gypsy child at the day break A King for a day
Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
Dusty dreams in fading daylight Flicker on the walls Nothing new your life's adrift what purpose to it all? Eyes are closed and death is calling Reaching out its hand Call upon the starlight to surround you
Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again [Out of the Shadow]
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 [Fear of the Dark]
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low
When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's some sort of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not so easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying After all I am not afraid of dying Don't believe that there is never an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me die?
As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion. [Hallowed Be Thy Name]
