[Instrumental] [Verse] Hear the rattle of the iron chains,dragging through deserted lanes.Bells of brass in hollow rings call forth things older than kings.Frost climbs walls like grasping hands a December curse across the land. [Pre-Chorus] Birch in hand, he stirs the gloom,a ritual meant to wake the tomb. [Chorus] Krampus comes when the lanterns fail, when Christmas lights turn sick and pale. Nicholas walks with borrowed grace —but Krampus knows the hidden face. Warmth retreats, the shadows swell,and you can hear the dark bells. [Verse] A woven sack upon his spine,stitched with threads of the unconfined. It writhes with all we dare not claim —a living weight of guilt and shame. [Pre-Chorus] The snow begins to whisper back, soft as breath on candle wax. And somewhere past the brittle pines, his bells distort the Christmas chimes. [Distant Bells] [E5 – B4 – F#5 – E5 – (rest) E5 – C5 – F5 – G#4 – (rest) E5 – B4 – C5 – F#5 – E5] [Bridge] On Christmas Eve, the veil grows thin;the bells confess what hides. The holly bleeds, the carols fade —and all our shadows come unmade. [Chorus] Krampus comes when the lanterns die,when Christmas warmth begins to lie.Nicholas glows with borrowed grace —but Krampus sees the hidden face.Lights go dim, the shadows swell,and every truth begins to yell. [Outro] HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
