LYRICS
So, ours soars with the angels
All her children ring their bells
Joined the choir that sings with wings

Been being to other beings
As she’d be unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Doing well with spirit stealth

Been being to other beings
As she’d be unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Doing well with spirit (heaven’s) wealth

Been being to other beings
As she’d been unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Granted eternal health

So, ours soars with the angels
All her children ring their bells
Joined the choir that sings with wings

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.

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

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

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

You know
It’s cold enough to snow
But will it add up?
You know
The north winds do blow
But will it add up?

Confront
The arrival of a cold front
But will it add up?

Temperature’s freezing
But will it add up?

Let the bells ring
May the angels sing
Please God something
Is Christmas near?
Is Christmas here?
Please bring Christmas cheer

Do wise men follow The Star
If so wonder… wander how far
Are shepherds awoken from sleep
So that they might take a peep

Did the wisemen make it further
Did the Virgin Mary break hear water
Has the King Of King’s yet been born
When will we ever learn

Is Christmas here yet
Another year with no regret
Is Christmas here yet
Another year I’ll never forget

No better place for me to be
There’s nothing I’d rather do
Then spend Christmas with you
A Christmas true

And that would be alright
If our Christmas was all white
And that would be OK
Riding on a dashing sleigh

The present of your presence
The essence of your present
Is the Christmas spirit
Can you feel it?

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Let’s get up and to

As we glide into the night
While we go through the snow

bookmark_borderThe Birth of Jesus

Based on the Book Of Luke

A song about Syria and refugees. Jews, Christians and Muslims are all known as “Religions of The Book”. Sometimes we seem to forget that we are “one and the same” and our message is still the same: Peace On Earth. Goodwill Toward Man.

LYRICS
Trying to get a consensus by holding a census
Count on Augustus counting us
Quirinius governor of Syria… are you really serious?
From Nazareth in Galilee traveled Mary
To Bethlehem… David’s city… while Mary did carry

No room for a stranger
Managed to make it to a manger
Giving birth to heaven on Earth
And all worldly worth

There were shepherds watching over their flocks at night
When lo and behold, the most angelic sight
The angel said, “have no fright”
On Good News, I shed the light
Today Savior has been born to you
This will be a sign to you, too
One knows by his swaddling clothes

Suddenly, a great choir started to sing
Glory to God over everything
Peace on Earth everlasting
