Witching hour
Lyrics
Intro — whispered female voices
They called us crazy.
They called us dangerous.
They told us to stay quiet.
So we learned to scream.
Tick... tick... tick...
Midnight.
The witching hour begins.
---
Verse 1 — restrained, dark
You drew your lines around our names,
Built your kingdom out of shame,
Told us who we had to be,
Then blamed us when we wouldn't kneel.
You called our anger something ugly,
Called our voices far too loud,
But every time you tried to break us,
We found another way out.
You wanted silence.
We became the storm.
---
Pre-Chorus — rising
You thought we'd disappear,
You thought we'd lose our fire,
But every word you threw at us
Just pushed us higher.
You struck the match—
We changed the flame.
---
Chorus — huge female rage anthem
IT'S THE WITCHING HOUR!
Hear the women screaming back!
IT'S THE WITCHING HOUR!
We are taking our power back!
You tried to burn us—
WE BECAME THE FLAME!
You tried to break us—
WE REMADE THE NAME!
You wanted us afraid...
NOW REMEMBER OUR NAMES!
WITCHING HOUR!
---
Verse 2 — heavier
You made a cage and called it safety,
Made a rule and called it truth,
Expected every girl to smile
While you took away her voice.
But we're done being convenient,
Done pretending we're okay,
Done carrying your expectations
Like they're ours to bear each day.
You wanted pretty.
We chose powerful.
---
Pre-Chorus
You thought we'd disappear,
You thought we'd lose our fire,
But every scar became a spark
And every spark climbed higher.
You struck the match—
We changed the flame.
---
Chorus
IT'S THE WITCHING HOUR!
Hear the women screaming back!
IT'S THE WITCHING HOUR!
We are taking our power back!
You tried to burn us—
WE BECAME THE FLAME!
You tried to break us—
WE REMADE THE NAME!
You wanted us afraid...
NOW REMEMBER OUR NAMES!
WITCHING HOUR!

Breakdown — whispered → screamed
They said:
“Know your place.”
We said:
“MAKE US.”
They said:
“Lower your voice.”
We said:
“NO.”
They said:
“You're too much.”
We said:
“GOOD.”
They said:
“Girls like you don't change the world.”
Silence.
WE NEVER ASKED PERMISSION.

GOOD.

Bridge — haunting clean vocals
We were daughters.
We were sisters.
We were mothers.
We were strangers.
We were told our pain was nothing,
Told our voices didn't matter.
But the night remembers everything
That daylight tried to hide.
And when the clock strikes twelve...
We rise.
---
Final Chorus — full metal explosion
IT'S THE WITCHING HOUR!
LET THE WHOLE WORLD HEAR US NOW!
IT'S THE WITCHING HOUR!
WE ARE NEVER BOWING DOWN!
You tried to burn us—
WE BECAME THE FLAME!
You tried to silence—
WE OUTSCREAMED THE PAIN!
You tried to erase us—
WE CARVED OUR NAMES!
You wanted us afraid...
NOW REMEMBER OUR NAMES!
WITCHING HOUR!
WITCHING HOUR!
WITCHING HOUR!

Outro — whispered
They tried to burn us...
So we became the fire.
They tried to bury us...
So we grew roots.
They tried to silence us...
So we became a choir.
And when midnight comes...
The witches don't hide.
They rise.
