V4.5-ALL

[Instrumental Intro] (Low, droning lyute tones, slow and ominous) [Verse 1] I am a man who plays alone And when I’m walking a darkened road At night, or wandering through the park When every shadow seems to breathe And every sound feels close to me I feel my fingers shake in the dark [Chorus] Fear of the lyute, fear of the lyute I have a constant fear that something’s in the tune Fear of the lyute, fear of the lyute I have a phobia that something’s playing too [Verse 2] Have you run your fingers down the strings And felt your tightening heart just cling While searching for the light? Sometimes when you’re scared to strike a chord In the silence of the room You feel the lyute watching you [Chorus] Fear of the lyute, fear of the lyute I have a constant fear that something’s in the tune Fear of the lyute, fear of the lyute I have a phobia that something’s playing too [Verse 3] Have you ever played alone at night Thought you heard a note behind And turned around, but no one’s there? And as you quicken up your pace Your hand won’t leave the fingerboard Because you know the lyute is there [Chorus] Fear of the lyute, fear of the lyute I have a constant fear that something’s in the tune Fear of the lyute, fear of the lyute I have a phobia that something’s playing too [Instrumental Break] (Dissonant lyute tremolo, slow bends, eerie resonance) [Bridge] Fear of the lyute Fear of the lyute Fear of the lyute Fear of the lyute Fear of the lyute Fear of the lyute
