Midnight falls… and the carols start to crawl… [VERSE 1] They light the trees at seven, But I’m walking through the cold. Every song keeps chasing me, Too sweet, too bright, too old. Down the alley by the chapel, Something moves behind the choir — A shadow with a broken halo, And a voice that feels like fire. [PRE-CHORUS] The echoes drip like tinsel, The bells begin to quake — Someone’s twisting Christmas cheer Into something dark and fake. [CHORUS] He’s the Midnight Carol Killer, Turning jingle into fear — Cuts the sugar with the sorrow, Freezes joy into the year. When he’s humming in the shadows, You can feel the silence shiver — Run before the chorus hits… The Midnight Carol Killer. “Mi–mi–midnight… ca–ca–carol… kil–ler…” [breath] He’s coming closer… closer… [VERSE 2] I hear a laugh behind me, But the street is bare of light. Holiday ghosts in neon snow Are dancing out of sight. A hymn gets slowly strangled, Notes crack like brittle ice — He steals the sound of Christmas, And he doesn’t think twice. [PRE-CHORUS 2] A crooked star is blinking, The wind begins to hiss — And every carol twisting wrong Feels like a poisoned kiss. [CHORUS] He’s the Midnight Carol Killer, Turning jingle into fear — Cuts the sugar with the sorrow, Freezes joy into the year. When he’s humming in the shadows, You can feel the silence shiver — Run before the chorus hits… The Midnight Carol Killer. [BRIDGE] Don’t sing alone… he hears you… Don’t hum at night… he’s near you… The choir breaks… the cold gets real… And Christmas loses what you feel… If silence is your saving grace… Then don’t give him a trace… [CHORUS] He’s the Midnight Carol Killer, Where the twisted carols roam — He rewrites every melody, Till joy won’t make it home. If you hear him in the darkness, Run faster… run quicker — He’s waiting for the final note… The Midnight Carol Killer. “Midnight… midnight… Carol… carol… Killer… killer…” He’s right behind you… Shh… Don’t breathe. Don’t sing. He listens.
