    This unironically started my journey into listening to metal music. I used to be (and still am) really into folk music and those bard-core covers, and after listening to this I checked out the original Maiden song, and now I own a couple Maiden CD's I like them so much. Thanks so much for this!

    Lo, I the man doth walk alone
    An as I travel a dark road
    At night or strolleth i' the park
    An as the light doth begin its change
    I shalt feel a wee bit strange
    I shalt feel anxious when tis dark
    Fear o the dark, fear o the dark
    I hath a constant fear that something lurketh near
    Fear o the dark, fear o the dark
    I hath a phobia tis someone e'er there
    Hast thou run thy fingers cross the wall
    An hast thou felt thine neck skin crawl
    As thou searchest for a light
    An sometimes thou dost fear to take a look
    Unto th'corner o the room
    Thou sensest something spyest thee
    (CHORUS)
    Fear o the dark (×8)
    Watchest horrid plays before
    Debatest witches an folklore
    These unknown troubles i' thy breast
    Mayhap thy mind it playest tricks
    Thou dost sense thine eyes doth fix
    On shadows as they steal thy rest
    (Chorus ×2)
    An as I travel a dark road
    I be the man who doth walk alone

    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

    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

    I have a constant fear that something's always near
    Fear of the dark

    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

      @thomasbernier2489 Před 3 lety +3

      New name idea. "Rage of Dying Light." The buffs don't sound like a "Fear", but more of a berserker losing his control, and deciding that the dark whatevers don't need to exist anymore.
      As to the numbers, a -25% on Defense is fair, as a frenzied berserker doesn't care who is trying to hit them. All he wants is to stomp a crater in whatever has his attention at the time. +50% to Attack Power and Speed is also fair. When a berserker awakens the fire that sleeps within the blood, he becomes a force not to be trifled with. The +15% to Crit is a bit high, in my opinion, as he really doesn't "aim" it's more of a "damage whatever's in the way at the time."

    I am a man who treads alone,
    When on a darksome road I'm thrown,
    At night or through the park I roam,
    And when light fades, I feel unknown.
    Fear of the dark, it's always there,
    A constant weight that I must bear,
    The fear that fills me with despair,
    And makes me feel like no one's there.
    The blackness holds a terror deep,
    That haunts my soul and doth not sleep,
    With every step, my heart doth leap,
    As doubts and worries take their keep.
    At times, a sense of dread takes hold,
    As shadows creep and stories told,
    Of spirits that the night unfold,
    And leave my nerves and senses cold.
    But lo, I know that dawn will break,
    And light will banish all that's fake,
    The sun will shine, the birds will wake,
    And I shall rest, my fears to shake.

I asked him "if "modern music" is still using the same notes and scales from the ages of chamber music and gregorian chants, then why would ANY instrument from past civilizations, capable of playing those same notes and tones, have an inability to play music from today, which is arranged and utilized in a relatively less complicated manner than music from those time periods?"
      This link perfectly exemplifies just how music from polar extremes of how modern music can be played on instruments from centuries ago..

    The cover is godly as always. And the clean tune just show how Iron Maiden song are simple, yet beautiful- genius.

      They HAVE to give him the probs to come on stage to play a song or two, as long as they tour... thus old rockerz xD

      I'd bet he'd be absolutely celebrated in Wacken. Heck, they are banging along to the typical German Firefighter's brass band on each Wednesday before the actual opening of the festival.

      @@666LonesomeSailor Or considering how many Maiden songs the Harp Twins have covered this would be an EPIC concert pairing!

      Oh HELL yes! THAT would blow people's minds and it would be more epic than anything the already iconically epic band Iron Maiden has done to date.

    In a strange way, I can't explain why, but it make me peaceful (maybe because it's a music style from an era I like the most). Incredible !

    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 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
    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
    Have a phobia that someone's always there
    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
    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
    have a phobia that someone's always there
    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
    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
    Have a phobia that someone's always there
    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
    Have a phobia that someone's always there
    When I'm walking a dark road
    I am a man who walks alone
