[Verse 1] Snow falls like ash from a burning tree, The clock strikes twelve—he’s not asleep. Stockings twitch and shadows crawl, Something laughs inside the hall. Candy scent turns sick and stale, Footsteps crunch like brittle shale— Tiny claws on wooden floors, Sugar demons at the door. [Pre-Chorus] Icing dripping like venom threads, Candy eyes glowing red… [Chorus] GINGERDEAD! GINGERDEAD! They rise from the oven of dread! Crunching bones, breaking in, The gingerbread men want his skin! GINGERDEAD! GINGERDEAD! Screaming as they swarm his bed! Run or be devoured whole— They want his body, heart, and soul! [Verse 2] Baker's curse from long ago, Dropped into the winter snow. Wreaths twist into twisted grins, As cookie hordes are closing in. Licorice whips and peppermint blades, Marching through the night they’ve made. The boy retreats, but they pursue— Leaving trails of crimson hue. [Pre-Chorus] Sugar fangs gnashing in delight, They want a bite tonight… [Chorus] GINGERDEAD! GINGERDEAD! They rise from the oven of dread! Crunching bones, breaking in, The gingerbread men want his skin! GINGERDEAD! GINGERDEAD! Screaming as they swarm his bed! Run or be devoured whole— They want his body, heart, and soul! [Bridge (Breakdown)] Stomp the cookies— They reform. Burn the tray— They’re reborn. Evil sugar never dies, Hear their wicked battle cries! Climbing walls, they gnaw and bite, Welcome to the Gingerdead Night! [Final Chorus] GINGERDEAD! GINGERDEAD! Terror in the holiday spread! Crackling laughs of candy sin, The gingerbread men close in! GINGERDEAD! GINGERDEAD! This is how the story ends— Christmas Eve consumed by fright, Lost within the Gingerdead Night!
