Stone Sour - The Dark Lyrics

Lovecraft would be really proudful;)

I been listening to Metal Church for a long time and its really cool that Stone Sour did a cover of this song, I love it!

Killer song

Is this Slipknot? Corey Taylor is amazing, metal's John Lennon

Brian Connelly It’s Stone Sour and this is actually a cover of a Metal Church Song.

This is terrible

Intro sounds like Hell Awaits by Slayer and the rest of the song sounds like Slipknot 😂

It's absolutely HILARIOUS going through the comments on here and seeing how many people are TOTALLY oblivious to the fact that not only is the song a METAL CHURCH cover but the artwork (AND logo) is a nod to METAL CHURCH as well!! For fuck's sake, people!! Lol

Oh my god you ruined one of the greatest songs ever written. PLEASE STOP. You can never compare to Metal Church with talent.

ruined? this is the "my balls dropped" version of the song.

Never heard this before. Sounds like a straight slipknot song except the solo

As a metal church fan from 86 I think this is an incredible cover ..
Fuckin a corey ...

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
And 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

'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

'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

This song is so unknown, I'm glad you posted the lyrics... no shit,., it makes a difference

Love metal church and this is a true testament to Wayne rip
Rock on metal church and stone sour

Why did they steal the cover? Just re create the song not the cover

Shyy_cloakz 5 As a tribute to Metal Church, ya dingus.

Awesome cover!

Why does the singer sound all whiney and ghey like he just hit his thumb with a wrench while learning how to change his oil in his ricer?

you must be referring to the original song

Metal Church wrote this song

'Cuz I'm shakin' all my chicken! Waitin' for a lickin'! Waiting for me in the house!...

so freaking epic

* stolen riff alert from emmet otters jug band christmas river bottom nightmare band

No fucking way!!! How even does this even exist!!!!!! Metal church?.? Stone sour???? Wtf broooooo

Halen 19 Sometimes magic happens.

Nu-Metal Church. This shit is weak af.

Tyler Criswell In what way is this remotely “Nu-Metal”?

Metal Church!!!

Awesome! David Wayne RIP

metal church was one of my favorite bands back in the day

The chorus of this reminds me of "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet. You can switch the choruses between the two songs seamlessly. Try it out, change the chorus to "and the man in the back said everyone attack and they turned into a ballroom blitz"

This is a badass cover. Love me some Metal Church!

not exactly what i wanted to hear out of todays metal..no range in vocals and during the bridge was using single notes..it was worth the effort but was totally off..thanx anyway for bringing up old school metal..its as if backstreet boys were covering this..the original is much better..#being honest to the haters

"no range"

audacity:100

Intro sounds like a blend of "War Pigs" and "Hell Awaits".

The Church should be proud.

Stone Sour Is A Great Band

Good cover

Core Taylor is a treasure

Fear Clinic is going down after this song!☻🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, not bad but sorry Corey you're not David Wayne.

Wedge Antilles corey aint david

Where's David Wayne when ya need him !

As a friend of "The Reverend", he would have approved this cover!!! \m/

Metal Church Reverend Let's make a Metal Church/Stone Sour headlining tour happen!

No Jim? Don't mind. Heavy shit.

go listen the real version of this song. back when metal singer's actually had range. this shit is awful

Do your research, that's a ridiculous comment to make.

Great album

I'm not gonna lie, I would have preferred a cover of the song Metal Church - but I'll take this

another suprise for me after seasons in the abyss good job fellaz

would like to make everyone aware that in Fear Clinic, the horror movie starring Corey Taylor, there's a scene where his character just randomly starts jamming out to this song in his car.

This cover sucks.

Paperback Writer You can't please 'em all.

Cory Dave Wayne Hates you

psiklops71 Corey*

I sure hope that English isn't your first language, because that grammar is appalling.

psiklops71 eat a €=======@

The intro sounds like Slayer's ''Hell Awaits"

Wrong band, Corey!

Thank you Stone Sour for helping some metalheads discover the awesome metal band Metal Church!

Brandon Koncyk Somebody gets it! 😛

fucking blasphemy...

Burzum Krieg Quiet, nobody asked for your opinion.

Not bad.

I'll stick to the originals, thanks

God, I love the bridge part in this song!

This cover fucking sucks. The vocals don't fucking work at all with the song and it sounds like he doesn't have much range either. The instrumentals are okay, but I don't really like the fact that they're downtuned to sound "heavy".

@i have to wait 90 days to change my name Okay idk who this Bruce is, so you're doing the exact thing you're accusing me of, which is spouting nonsense. Also yes I dislike Corey Taylor as a person, but that's not the reason I dislike his work. I dislike it because I just don't like it. Is that too hard to process? I think it sucks. Big deal, I know. I came in here like 2 years ago because I was a cocky little shit, but I'm here to at least provide more clarity to my statements, so whatever.

@Schpida-Man
lucidity? yes, clarity? the exact opposite.
and you don't grow out of being a cocky little shit in two years.

@Schpida-Man
david wayne=wayne=bruce wayne
play on words.

@i have to wait 90 days to change my name Hey man, I'm trying to defuse this stupid argument because I honestly don't feel like going back and forth with someone over something I said TWO YEARS AGO. Put me on the cross for my crimes or whatever, it doesn't really matter in the long run.

@Schpida-Man
then why did you ever give two fucks to start up the argument again you hypocrite?

Great Remake !!!!!!!!

Cambio de voz total en corey taylor para mi la mejor fue en el 2004 !

That moment when you watch Fear Clinic and Corey mimes the words to his own vocals on the radio

Quite like it. Not 100% on his vocals but it's nice to see a popular band like Stone Sour pay homage to Metal Church. I love Metal Church and not enough people respect them as much as they should

I'm going to give this potential blasphemy a chance right now

Gingers dance on your grave, just kidding........

How many of you know who metal church is

+Daniel Stanley They're one of my fav bands, I'm glad that a "new" band covered this from a really underrated band like Metal Church.
I mean, there are a lot of metal bands, but they chose the Church man, that says a lot about Stone Sour's school.

Long live the fucking Church.

I know right... kids these days.

This guy!!!! my band gets the honor for opening up one of their shows in April!

I prefer the original version by Metal Church. The vocals of Stone Sour aren't great. I keep it old school metal.

Thank you at least you have common sense for having good taste! Not like these morons. Lol XD

+David Vazquez Oh go fuck yourself. Someone else likes something different from you so that makes them a moron?

Everyone has their own tastes, if you don't like this version don't listen to it. Moron XD

Shane Brown Apparently so. Is this evidence of devolution? Possibly.

Yeah but this is still one of the better covers of 80s speed metal songs.

Awesome song

Is this the song played when he's just dropped off that bird in Fear clinic?

It's a pretty decent cover.

the dark by slipknot and snuff by stone sour hahahahaha

they changed the roles hahaha

This cover of Metal Church sucks dude, original is way better fuckin 80s \m/

+Orion „Sinister Shogun” Darkstar I have a different opinion, but I understand your way of thinking.

I believe Stone Sour doesn't really want to sound exactly like Metal Church. I believe they want to give it they're own flavor of the song. Not everyone is going to like, just enjoy riffs.

Making it your own is the sign of a good cover song.

Just like wicked game cover

FlyinEagle7 comparison addicts piss me off it's great xxx🍰❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

muy padre la rola

If you think Stone Sour and Slipknot are the same then you are obviously an Idiot. They are both amazing bands in a different style of music. Now I say HURRY AND RELEASE A NEW ALBUM1

I loce this song really is very good

Awesome! Love the original and Stone Sour's take on it!

Metal Church and Stone Sour is definitely two of my favorite bands.

R.I.P. David and Paul! \m/

А теперь представьте что slipknot и stone sour объединятся и станут одной группой в которой будет 14 участников они будут носить маски и зватьса                   slip sour вот это будет пиздец

verdade

THIS SOUNDS LIKE NEITHER STONE SOUR NOR SLIPKNOT!!! ITS FUKING METAL CHURCH!!!!!

@jaime garoutte Nice job reading the description. Do you want a trophy?

Corey making millions he don't give a fuck about what you are thinking

Es una obra de arte

Better than the origanal

Queremos a James Root de vuelta 7n7

Know i am waiting in the dark for you >:D

"The Dark"
(originally by 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
And 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

'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

'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

Sounds good to me.

What a stupid thing to sing about

This is awesome. If there had been a Big 8 instead of a Big 4, Metal Church would have made the list.

I'm digging it, keep making awesome music like this!

wtf yeh corse it u can see the connection when slipknot do slow songs and when ss do heavy they have the same singer but instrumental is different and all bands do more soft rock with some heavy and vice versa so y cant these two y compare when wat we have is two gr8 bands doing gr8 music that we love and all made by one god and i dont mean him up stairs

Amazing sounds a little like sabbath with coreys vocals. I love that he keeps making great music whether its slipknot or stone sour keep creating monsters corey! Its what you do best \m/

+Christopher Carr You comment was 9 months ago, I really hope you discovered this is a cover.

Why am i scared to death, petrified with fear!!!!!!!!!

the solo kinda reminds me of a Metallica solo

Awesome

I hope everyone on here knows that this isn't even a Stone Sour song. Its a Metal Church song, from their The Dark album that Stone Sour covered, so regardless, its them covering Metal Church! Idiots!

No shit! -- Simple deduction and looking at the video description would dictate that, you absolute fucking troglodyte. Don't assume that a fan base is ignorant and musically illiterate. Nobody appreciates that kind of bullshit.

amazing!!!!! Corey rules

Corey cagandose de risa xD 

How good is the movie?

this is awesome, sounds more like slipknot because of the way corey is screaming.

This isnt even a stone sour song its a metal church so people who say this sounds like stone sour are trying to be slipknot are just dumb and uneducated on the genre of metal.

What are you saying?

@GMB 11 It's a cover of Metal Church and many people in the comments are saying it sounds like Slipknot, that Stone Sour copy their music. Consequently, they're uneducated.

@Opium 4 Life 2 of slipknots members are/where members of stone sour... especially corey taylor he is the singer for both bands... so yeah sounds abit the same... for good reason... fiy love this version better then the original by metal church

Its a cover. Original by metal church but stonr spurs version is heavier

Metal Church. So much better then stone sour. 85 I believe?

whats awesome is it sounds like there song

Coreys an amazing singer yall but doesnt beat Jonathan
