## Lyrics
[verse]
Shadows crawl along the ceiling line
Whispers count the hours down to nine
Close your eyes, the dark begins to hum
Something waits behind the quiet drum

[verse]
Iron gate around a young boy's bed
Static dreams are static in his head
Every creak becomes a marching drum
Every breath, the monsters slowly come

[chorus]
Hush now, hush now, the night machine is turning
Hush now, hush now, the candle keeps on burning
Sleep won't save you from the things you fear
Sleep won't save you, but the dawn is near

[verse]
Grandma's voice against the growing storm
Praying hands to keep the small ones warm
Still the shadows twist along the wall
Still they whisper, still they call

[chorus]
Hush now, hush now, the night machine is turning
Hush now, hush now, the candle keeps on burning
Sleep won't save you from the things you fear
Sleep won't save you, but the dawn is near

[bridge]
Count the sheep, count the years
Count the echoes, count the fears
One more breath before the light
One more war against the night

[chorus]
Hush now, hush now, the night machine is turning
Hush now, hush now, the candle keeps on burning
Sleep won't save you from the things you fear
Sleep won't save you, but the dawn is near
