Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Witching Hour Draws Near
Come Hear The Bell Is Tolling
Mortals Run In Fear
Prepare The Altar Now
And Hear The Virgin's Cry
Hold Fast The Sacrifice
For Now It's Time To Die
Hell's Breaking Loose
Unveil The Pentagram
And Feel The Demon's Lust
Come Watch The Holy Men
Who Look On In Disgust
Come Taste The Blood
And Feel The Heat Of Satan's Breath
Look In The Sky
And See The Warriors Of Death
All Hell Breaks Loose
Hell's Breaking Loose
Witching Hour
Our Work Is Now Complete
The Blood Runs Fast And Free
And Satan Takes His Bride
And Cries Out Blasphemy
All Hell Rejoices
At The Child That She Will Bear
And Satan's Only Son
Shall Be The World's Despair
All Hell Breaks Loose
Hell's Breaking Loose
Witching Hour
The lyrics to "Witching Hour" by Slayer are a chilling and dark portrayal of a satanic ritual. The song begins with the call of the moon and the witching hour drawing near. The bell tolls as mortals run in fear, creating an atmosphere of terror and dread. The altar for sacrifice is prepared, and the virgin's cry can be heard, creating a sense of desperation and hopelessness.
The lyrics then progress to the unveiling of the pentagram and the demon's lust. The holy men look on in disgust as the blood is tasted, and the heat of Satan's breath is felt. The warriors of death can be seen in the sky, adding to the overall sense of terror and violence. As the ritual comes to a close, Satan takes his bride and cries out blasphemy. The child she will bear is Satan's only son, who will bring despair to the world.
The lyrics of "Witching Hour" paint a dark, unsettling picture of a demonic ritual. The imagery is disturbing, and the darkness that surrounds the ritual is palpable. The song is a commentary on Satanism and the power that it holds over those who practice it.

Lyrics:
Come hear the moon is calling,
The witching hour draws near,
Come hear the bell is tolling,
Mortals run in fear,
Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry,
Hold fast the sacrifice,
For now it's the time to die,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose.
Unveil the pentagram,
And feel the demons lust,
Come watch the holy men,
Who look on in disgust,
Come taste blood,
And feel the heat of Satan's breath,
Look in the sky's and see,
The warriors of death,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose,
Witching hour.
Our work is now complete,
The blood runs fast and free,
And Satan takes his bride,
And cry's of blasphemy,
All hell rejoices at the child,
That she will bear,
And Satans only son,
Shall be the worlds despair,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose,
Witching hour
