The Small Hours Lyrics
[Intro]
Suck on this
[Verse 1]
Look out at the darkness
And you will see
Just call my name, and I'll be there
You cannot touch me
You would not dare
I am the chill that's in the air
[Chorus]
And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day, haha
[Verse 2]
Dark rivers are flowing
Back into the past
You are the fish for which I cast
And what of the future?
What is to be
As the rivers flow into the sea?
[Chorus]
And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day
Suck on this
[Verse 1]
Look out at the darkness
And you will see
Just call my name, and I'll be there
You cannot touch me
You would not dare
I am the chill that's in the air
[Chorus]
And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day, haha
[Verse 2]
Dark rivers are flowing
Back into the past
You are the fish for which I cast
And what of the future?
What is to be
As the rivers flow into the sea?
[Chorus]
And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day
All aboard
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Do not take for granted
Powers out there
Don't step into the demon's lair
Time is an illusion
Rising from time
Steep is the mountain which we climb
[Chorus]
And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Do not take for granted
Powers out there
Don't step into the demon's lair
Time is an illusion
Rising from time
Steep is the mountain which we climb
[Chorus]
And I try to get through to you
In my own special way
As the barriers crumble
At the end of the day
