[Verse] The candles burned low in the frozen air Shadows danced but no one cared Her song of sorrow hung heavy and stark A hymn for the lost in the endless dark [Chorus] Oh Christmas Oh cursed day Wrapped in black Not red or gray A tale of dismay A world gone astray But the Goths They sang anyway [Verse 2] She wrote of snow that fell like ash Of joy that cracked and turned to trash A choir of ghosts sang in her head A dirge for the living A feast for the dead [Prechorus] No bells No cheer No merry light Just silence howling through the night [Chorus] Oh Christmas Oh cursed day Wrapped in black Not red or gray A tale of dismay A world gone astray But the Goths They sang anyway [Bridge] The violin wept as the clock struck one A requiem played for the unholy sun She whispered her pain Her voice a spell And the Goths all knew She sang it too well
