The Dark Lyrics - Live - Metal Church

It's way past midnight 

There's a howling wind 

Oh God what can it be? 

Something out there evil 

And it's coming straight for me 

The house is dark and very cold 

I know there's no one here 

Why am I scared to death 

Just petrified with fear 

'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' 

Of something evil lurking 

And waiting for me in the house 

'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' 

Of something evil lurking 

And waiting for me in the dark 

The dark 

When I opened up the door 

And snapped on the switch 

The room was filled with light 

Then something black and very fast 

Fled upon my sight 

What I feared most as a child 

Was the coming of the night 

Now my horrors have become quite real 

My nightmares breathe new life 

'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' 

Of something evil lurking 

And waiting for me in the house 

Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' 

Of something evil lurking 

And waiting for me in the dark 

Dark! 

What is it in the house 

That the darkness brings to life? 

I sense their eyes upon me 

As I grab a butcher knife 

Whatever it is that waits for me 

It hides beneath my bed 

If I try to sleep tonight 

By morning I'll be dead! 

'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' 

Of something evil lurking 

And waiting for me in the house 

Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' 

Of something evil lurking 

And waiting for me in the dark
