Yeah... Check one, two. Is this thing on? Yo. It's the holidays. But ain't nothing holy about this noise. This ain't no Silent Night. Silent Night, Holy Night, that's what the carol says But my upstairs neighbor's throwing a party, it never ends! Bouncin' off the walls, the rhythm's stuck inside my head Can't get no peace, I wish I stayed in bed. A million decibels, the bass is shakin' up my floor The building's groaning, begging, "Can't take it anymore!" I'm calling 1-1-0, but they just put me on the hold Where's the quiet? Man, the story's getting old. Silent Night? No way! The bass is pumping 'til the dawn The Rettende Stunde is a myth, a battle that is drawn. Look outside, the planet's burning, tell me what's the cost? Keep the music down! All that Heil und Segen is lost! This ain't no peace on Earth, just shattered dreams and fear, Can't hear the angels, man, all I hear is BLARE! Gently sleeps the babe, they sing, but who are they kidding now? The polar ice caps melt, we gotta stop somehow. We treat the world like trash, then pray for some divine Intervention, but the future's looking grim, not fine. Christ the Savior is born, yeah, that's the tale they tell, But we're destroying everything, sending ourselves to hell. Ain't no saving light in sight, no star that shines so bright, Just endless consumption and a long, dark, lonely night. Hirten erst kundgemacht – what was that message they received? Was it on their timeline? The 'Gram they truly believed? 'Cause all those shepherds, yeah, they're huddled by the flames, Not watching sheep, man, they're just playing video games. And that little angel, Himmels Heer? A little too round and stout! Gravity's a factor, baby, he ain't getting out! Can't fly, can't preach, can't reach a soul that's glued to the screen, This Holy Night is now a digital, disconnected scene. So strahlet der Stern? Maybe in my neighbor's living room, Reflected off the disco ball, sealing my noisy doom. I tried to meditate, to find the peace that Christmas brings, But every time, a drunk dude loudly sings! I turn my headphones up, I blast some heavy metal too, 'Cause if they won't be quiet, I'll join the chaos, me and you! All is calm, all is bright – what a hilarious lie, I just want silence, man, before I start to cry! (Hey!) Not Silent! (No!) Not Calm! (Move!) Just loud and wrong! The noise is a bomb! (Boom!) (Hey!) Not Holy! (Stop!) Can't see the light! (Dark!) It's just the neighbor's party ruining the night! Silent Night? Gimme a break! Silent Night? No way! The bass is pumping 'til the dawn! (Till the dawn!) The Rettende Stunde is a myth, a battle that is drawn! (Woah, woah!) Look outside, the planet's burning, tell me what's the cost? (Tell me now!) Keep the music down! All that Heil und Segen is lost! (Lost and gone!) This ain't no peace on Earth, just shattered dreams and fear, (Yeah, yeah!) Can't hear the angels, man, all I hear is BLARE! Turn... it... off... Song Text ©: Thorsten Försterling
