Three a.m., the dead hourSomething in the walls just took the powerWitching hourThe clock just struck the worstLights out motherfucker, this the part you should have cursedWitching hourThe candle gutters low and the shadows start to crawlYou hear it in the hallway but there's nobody at allTick by tick the dark get loudCounting down the breathing of a body in a shroudDon't turn around, don't say my nameThe witching hour came to play a game you cannot win the sameThe doors lock from a side that isn't yoursAnd the cold comes up the floorboards on all foursWitching hourThe clock just struck the worstLights out motherfucker, this the part you should have cursedWitching hourEvery house got an hour where the dead ones get to walkWhere the photographs start staring and the silence starts to talkYou can pray to every saint that you forgotBut the witching hour answers to the dark, and the dark do notThe clock keeps a schedule older than the lightAnd it called your number, baby, and your number's up tonightIt's already insideThe mirror in the hallway holds a face that isn't thereThe rocking chair is rocking but there's nobody in the chairThe temperature is dropping and your breath is turning whiteThere is something in the room with you and it owns the nightYou tell yourself it's nothing, just the old house and the windBut the old house never breathed before, and now it's breathing inMidnight, one, the veil pulls thinTwo, then three, that's when it lets it inNo sun to save you, no dawn in sightYou belong to the hour now, you belong to the nightSo lie real still and hope it doesn't notice that you wokeHold your breath and count the seconds, hope it's all a cruel jokeBut the floorboard by the bed just took the weight of something coldAnd the blanket that you're under is the only thing you holdThe clock will strike it over when the morning takes its turnBut the hour always comes again, that's the lesson you don't learnWitching hourThe clock just struck the worstLights out motherfucker, this the part you should have cursedWitching hour
