LYRICS
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

In the morning, come clean from being so mean
In the evening, calm down
Find where the love is found
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Does any brain remain
Certainly none sane
Be sure to save a piece
For understanding love and peace
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

LYRICS
Loom BOOM!
What was it that you wanted?
Make room
Egos are over flaunted
The lowering of the boom
Can happen none to soon
The more I realize
The less the surprise

Loom BOOM! What is it you want to do?
Got broom… is it time to clean the zoo?
Loom BOOM! Where is it you want to go?
Zoom zoom… round and round if you don’t know
Loom BOOM! Who is it you want to see?
Soul groom… what it is that I can be
Loom BOOM! When is it you want to start?
Doom boom… let’s blow if up with our heart

LYRICS
See through the light
Past the space
From the right slight
Run the human race

You know
On your mark, get set, go!

Humanity’s gone
Not a trace
Human’s swansong
Will the race go on?
(So long)

See the forest
Through the trees
Do what is best
For birds and bees

Do unto others
As they to you
Earthling’s sisters and brothers
An opportunity to…
Be mothers and fathers

The gift of God — you can procreate
In the image of God, you create
To take this away would be a mortal sin
For never the day to do it again

The other side of your inside

Krampus
Krampus

Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic folklore figure described as “half-goat, half-demon”. During the Christmas season, Krampus punishes children who have misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards the well-behaved with gifts. Krampus is one of the companions of Saint Nicholas in regions including Austria, Bavaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Northern Italy.

Krmapus would take naughty children, place them in a sack, and whoop ’em with a stick.

Krumpus Christmas.mp3

LYRICS
Have you been naughty
Have you been nice
If it’s naughty,
Better think twice
There’s a Krampus amongst us
Bound and a gag
Gonna “stick” you in his bag

Yup, gonna stick you in a sack
Then, proceed to whack, whack, whack
There’s a Krampus amongst us
You better not cry… you better not fuss
A Krampus among us

Have you been good… have you been bad?
Going to turn the bad into sad
A Christmas Krampus going to smash and thump us
Might dole out a lump of coal

The 25th of Kislev
On this day, Jesus celebrated Hanukkah: “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.”

Originally, the Syrian leader Antiochus had destroyed the temple. “Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem by sacrificing pigs on its altar and smearing the temple in blood.” However, the Syrian forces could not standup against the Hasmonean. The family became known as the Maccabees – the Hammer.

LYRICS
Be the last candle burning
Perpetual spiritual yearning
Be the light shinning bright
God’s hammer of might
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time

Eyes behold the sight
A miracle… the festival of light
Be the first candle burning
Burn through the night until morning
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time

Celebrate with the feast of dedication
Celebration of jubilation
Be the last candle burning
Keep our small world turning
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time

Does anyone know what time Festivus starts?

LYRICS
Come on and get Festivus with us
Come on and get Festivus
With the rest of us (God rest ye merry gentlemen)
A massive Christmas
For the masses
You know
Under the mistletoe
At the corner of Easy Street and Holiday Way
(OK? What do you say)

Krampus put a cramp in your style
Well, stick him in a sack
And whack him with a stick (That’s it. Quick!)
Get your Christmas style on for a while

Forget about the bearded toothless hag
Just stuff Krampus in a bag
Put on your Santa suits
With the big, black, shinny boots

Pop! Up on the rooftop
Down the chimney
Slap your knee
Stomp your foot
Shake off the soot

LYRICS
Will this hate ever cease
We’re in need of the Prince Of Peace
A gigantic love release
Lord of lords, come on-board

Imagine those in God’s image
Sucked humanity from country and city
Now, they fear to give birth on Earth

Lord of lords, come on-board
Third planet from the sun
In dismay… they’ve come undone
I pray you understand
Please come and land

Chorus

No intelligent life around
Since you arose and left the ground
We need Christmas to abound
I beg and plead you come back down

Imagine those of God’s image
Decompose to the “garbage age”
Man’s last Book… the last page… of the World’s Stage

LYRICS
It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
A very slippery slope

Lay on the sleigh
Head on the sled
Going to slide
Pick our ride

It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
Rather be wrecking
Or gliding?
Can’t wait for skates
Currently curling
Looks like I’m going to ride
On my backside

It’s a very slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
We’re already sliding

Coversong originally made famous by Greg Lake
Written by Greg Lake with lyrics by Peter Sinfield

Dsus2                 G6      D   
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth,
But instead it just kept on raining,
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth.

C  G           D
I remember one Christmas morning,
C            G           D
The Winter's light and a distant choir,
         D        A             G              D
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,
    D            G6         Dsus2
And eyes full of tinsel and fire.

They sold me A dream of Christmas,
They sold me A silent night,
They told me A fairy story,
'Til I believed in the Israelite.
Chorus
I wish you A hopeful Christmas,
I wish you A brave New Year,
All anguish, pain and sadness,
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.

Dsus2                 G6      D
They said there'd be snow at Christmas,
They said there'd be peace on earth,
D            A           G6        D
Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,
     D           G6   Dsus2
The Christmas we get, we deserve.

I’m sure going to miss this
No candy canes at Christmas
The devil has them away
There’ll be no sugar on Christmas Day
Go figure
Hostage to shortage
For the holiday

There’s no gas in the tank
No rubber for the wheels
Still we thank God that Christmas feels
Yank our hopes from depths sank
Go figure
Hostage to shortage
For the holiday

Poor Santa
Can’t even bring us coal
But I won’t cry to Ma or Pa
Love can fill our stockings hole
