The Dark

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
