Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark Lyrics by Praying Mantis

To the Power of Ten

1995

[Verse 1]
This man that stands before me
This man he holds your gallant name
A branded soul still burning
Every night you fear the same
[Pre-Chorus]
(Cry out)
Cry out my friend let me know
Don't hide the truth, don't let me die in vain
Open your heart, breathe again
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid of the dark
Hide from the memories
But show me where you are
Don't be afraid of the dark
The shadow that I see
The ghost is really me
[Verse 2]
Don't fight the hand that feeds you
Don't turn away the help you need
To fear thosе haunting nightmares
Hell and back but nevеr free
[Pre-Chorus]
(Cry out)
Cry out my friend let me know
Don't hide the truth, don't hide away the pain
Open your eyes, see again
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid of the dark
Hide from the memories
But show me where you are
Don't be afraid of the dark
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Don't be afraid, (Don't be afraid) of the dark (Don't be afraid of the dark)
Don't be afraid, (Don't be afraid) of the dark (Don't be afraid)
[Outro]
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
Hide from the memories
But show me where you are
Don't be afraid of the dark
Afraid of the dark
(Don't be afraid of the dark)
(Don't be afraid of the dark)
Afraid of all the dark
(Don't be afraid of the dark)
The shadow that i see
The ghost is really me
(Don't be afraid of the dark)
(Don't be afraid of the dark)
