LYRICS
Which way’s the goal
Oh, hell. Noel!
The troll wants a toll
Oh, hell. Noel!
Which way’s the goal
Roundtrip from the north pole
Sleigh bells ring
Children sing
Parents on a shoestring
Pray Santa will bring
Something
Anything

LYRICS
Those dancing feet
Taking over me
Those dancing feet
Obvious to see
Those dancing feet
Take over… complete
Swing your partner round and round
Let your dangle dangle down
They’re such a treat
Your dancing feet
A touch so sweet
Your dancing feet
Keep the beat
Stoke heart’s heat

Krampus The Christmas Demon.mp3
LYRICS
Instead of sugar plum fairies and figs
Your vision could be filled with a fag of twigs
Is Krampus amongst us?
Have you been naughty or nice
If Krampus is amongst us…
Better think twice
It won’t be “all is well”
When he scares out the living hell
Scaring out the devil in us
Krampus
Born with goat’s horn
He’s on his way St. Nicholas Day
In his rusty chain you’ll remain
If you don’t refrain from disdain
ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Dm
G Em
128 beats per minute with a cowboy hoedown groove.
Daniel — Vocals, Keyboards
The song was inspired by an article in the Christian Science Monitor “Is Krampus the Christmas demon becoming too commercial?”
Chains, devil horns, and pitchforks are not things most people associate with the holidays. But for many in the Alpine region of Europe, that’s precisely where Krampus – a half goat, half demon creature, carrying rusty chains and sticks – belongs: in the Christmas season.
Yet some say that the centuries-old European folktale is turning commercial, as Krampus-themed chocolates, decorations, and greeting cards are readily available. Yet at the same time, could he actually be a subversive force for anti-consumerism?
Think of him as the anti-Santa. Krampus – as he is called in his native Austria, though he goes by other names throughout Europe – is St. Nicholas’s helper and his task is to scare small children into being good. On Dec. 6 – the saint’s feast day, or St. Nicholas Day – the pair will dole out chocolates and fruit to good children across Europe, while misbehaving children can expect a punishment instead, usually a bundle of twigs.

LYRICS
March out of the shadows in the night
March into the light
Christian warriors fight the good fight
March out of the gallows without spite
March into the light
And be free
Fight the beast in me
Christian warrior
Fight the beast in me
Christian warrior
Take me to your savior

LYRICS
Icicles hanging from the trees
Results of a December freeze
Snowflakes dancing in the breeze
An opportunity for us to seize
What do you say… let’s seize the day
Stockings hanging from the mantel
Christmas ornaments… be extra gentle
A tree topped with an archangel
An opportunity for the gentile
Let it be said… love we all spread
What do you say… let’s seize the day
Like kids on a snowday… let’s play

LYRICS
Never sat upon a throne
Never wore a crown
Never called himself King
That’s just the thing
I never called myself King Of The Jew
How about you?
And, how would you
Like a crown of thorn
On your throne
Crucifixion
Soul extinction?
At least not a lone
(He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.)
Hung out to dry
Hung out to die
Hung out
Without doubt
“After being flogged, Jesus was mocked by Roman soldiers as the “King of the Jews”, clothed in a purple robe, crowned with thorns, beaten and spat on. Jesus then had to make his way to the place of his crucifixion.”
He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves.

LYRICS
For crying out loud
I just found
When I look around
I’m in a cloud
All this fog
Causes vision to clog
I musta missed all this mist
In some sort of fate twist
Easy to resist
Seeing what exists
Rape, murder and hate
Before it’s too late
Let the light shine through
And reveal what is true

LYRICS
A challenge
To a scrimmage
Can you create the image
In your mind’s eye
Of utopia… ahhhhh….
For you… and I, too, will try
Imagine a collision
Of both our visions
A love explosion
At last, solution
Peace and love and harmony
Breaking out everywhere
Beautiful to see
Please let it be
May we be aware
(Beware if you’re not aware)
May we be aware

LYRICS
Justice delayed is justice denied
When it’s implied, it’s applied
Justice denied
Justice delayed
Justice dismayed
Justice denied
Black hat
White hat
What side?
Justice delayed is justice denied
It might be easy to say
A you just sit on your swing and sway
“That’s nice… justice”
Until they put you behind the bars
The accounts that might just be too bizarre
For you to realize
Treatment by your government…
You might put into size
It might not be quite right
Justice delayed is justice denied

Turn churn living loving
If every season was the season of giving
Giving the living loving
What if you wanted to get closer to heaven
You wouldn’t want to feel like you where missin’

Giving the living loving
Living giving loving and loving giving

LYRICS
Please tell me what would you like it to be about?
Please tell me what would you like your life to be about
Can you answer without doubt
What would you like your life to be about?
In and out and in and out and in and out…
What would you like your life to be about?
Be the creator of your landscape
Shape the ape
Envision your vision
Control your dream
Control the scene (less obscene)
Imagine you’re a train engineer
Engineer your train
Engineer where you want to go
Because you know where you want to go
Go!
Engineer,
You can steer clear
You can be aware
Aware everywhere
You can go where you want to go
You know

LYRICS
When we touch down
Probably won’t stick ’round
There’s no time for bickering
There’s no time for heckling
Much rather be singing
Phrases that praises living (loving)
When we touch down
A quick stop in town
There’s no time for snickering
There’s no time for belittling
Much rather be singing
Phrases that praises living (loving)
