Are You Afraid of the Dark??

Walking alone at night, in a park...
Eerie silence and suddenly the dogs bark...
From behind the trees, come out the sharks...
Are you afraid of the dark??

A nightmare, you wake up at night...
Slowly you go and switch on the light...
You realize it was just a bad dream...
There is nothing in the room, for you to scream...
Lie down again and close your eyes...
But open them again and look at the skies...
The sky is clear; you gaze at the stars...
Thinking about your old scars...

From behind the closet, come out the sharks...
Are you afraid of the dark??

Driving alone, on a dark and curvy road...
The house round the corner suddenly explodes...
To see if anyone is hurt, you slow down...
All you find, are a couple burnt dark brown...
From the corner of the eye, see two people walk…
You stand still, can’t move - in a shock…

From behind the bushes, come out the sharks...
Are you afraid of the dark??

and then the clock rings, you are awake...
All that you saw was just a fake...
The sun shines, there is light everywhere...
There is no dark; there is nothing to fear...
Get up from the bed and the doorbell rings...
Who is it?? - a suspense it brings...

The room is lit, there are no sharks...
I don’t understand, then why this question mark...

Are you afraid of the dark??
Are you afraid of the dark??
Are you afraid of the dark???
