    This unironically started my journey into listening to metal music.

Thanks so much for this!

    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

    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

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..

      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.
