Witching Hour
Sigh (Japan) Lyrics

Come hear the moon is calling
The singer is urging the listener to pay attention because something important is happening.

The witching hour draws near
A mystical event is about to occur.

Come hear the bell is tolling
The bell serves as a warning or a signal that something significant is happening.

Mortals run in fear
People are frightened because they feel powerless in the face of the event that is happening.

Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry
The artist is instructing someone to get ready for a sacred ritual that involves a young, pure woman crying.

Hold fast the sacrifice
The sacrifice is a crucial part of the ritual and must be done correctly.

For now it's the time to die
The ritual requires a sacrifice, and it is time for that sacrifice to be made.

All hell breaks loose
Extreme chaos and destruction is taking place.

Hell's breaking loose.
The same as the previous line, but with a slightly different emphasis.

Unveil the pentagram
A symbol of Satanism is being revealed.

And feel the demons lust
The singer is calling on the listener to experience the powerful desires of the demonic realm.

Come watch the holy men
The holy men are observing the events going on, possibly in disbelief or disapproval.

Who look on in disgust
The holy men are disapproving of what they are seeing.

Come taste blood
The singer is urging the listener to indulge in violent and gruesome acts.

And feel the heat of Satan's breath
The listener should feel the presence of Satan in the midst of the ritual.

Look in the sky's and see
The artist is directing the listener to look upwards and observe something happening in the sky.

The warriors of death
Specters or otherworldly beings associated with death are making themselves known.

Our work is now complete
The ritual has accomplished its intended purpose.

The blood runs fast and free
There has been a significant amount of bloodshed as part of the ritual.

And Satan takes his bride
The young, pure woman who cried earlier has been fully initiated into the demonic realm.

And cry's of blasphemy
People are loudly expressing shock and disgust at what they are seeing or hearing.

All hell rejoices at the child
Something significant and entirely new has come into existence and is celebrated in the demonic realm.

That she will bear
The woman has become pregnant with something that is significant to the demonic realm.

And Satans only son
The child she is carrying will be Satan's only offspring.

Shall be the worlds despair
The child is going to cause significant destruction and despair in the world outside of the ritual.

Witching hour.
A conclusion to the song and a reference to the event taking place.
