LYRICS
Hey, bottom feeder! Take me to your leader

The Battle of Terra Firma (Awe)
Can you confirm? (Awe)
Is there cause for concern
Should I sound the alarm
They slash and burn
You could lose a leg
They slash and burn
You could lose an arm
On your knees and beg

The Battle of Terra FIrma
The Battle of Terra FIrma

They’re tearing up Terra Firma
With warmonger awe
They soil the soil
With the souls of men
Imagine how things could have been
If we could only “do over” again
They’ve ground the ground
Turned dust to dust
The scarcity of humanity
Till total terrestrial denial
No Earthling left to sing

LYRICS
But, still…
Distill ill will
Extract the mean-ing
Then, fill…
Instill the goodwill
In fact, the meaning

Before it’s too late
Only thing to hate is hate
Love to love the love
With grace from above
Love to love the love

Until…
We eliminate ill will
Eradicate the hate
… until all the hate we kill
Fire up our “still”
Create some goodwill
The ill will we’ll fill with goodwill

I’m damned if I do
I’m damned if I don’t
But, that doesn’t mean that I won’t
What would you do
I’m asking you
What would you do
I’m begging you

Stuck between rock
And a hard place
Tough to take stock
In the race
They know how to displace
The entire human race
Call it a tie
Then, we all die

Cat got your tongue
Hangman’s come
Feel like a dope
Myself I’ve hung
Feel like a dope
Given just enough rope
Myself I’ve hung

I don’t know if any more
2+2 still equals 4
I don’t know
How does your garden grow
Mary, Mary quite contrary

Sandy Hook’s a fiction book?
The Earth’s flat? Just take a look
9/11 — optical illusion
How can there be chemtrail confusion?
Growing leery of conspiracy theory
Facts that lack made up with whack
Look out! Mother Goose is on the loose

There’s a unicorn
Milked by a fairy
Lactose intolerant
Can’t eat dairy
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
Social media’s filled with corn (and porn)

Quack, quack, quack

The day unfolds
Like a love letter from an envelope
As sky of golds
Weds a blue hue… they elope

Creation, as in birds and be [sic]
Off to make a happy family
Motivation comes on naturally
Off to elevate society

Embrace the day
Right through to twilight
It fades away
Then, fashions a passion into the night

Day after day
Turns into a lifetime
Along the way
Doing what you can? Tryin’, I’m

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

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

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

It’s time to fight the fight
Don’t we all hate hate?
Shouldn’t tread on the right
Stand up and fight the fight
(Tread light on the fight)
Shine your love light

Our situation’s getting tight
If you’re going to take it light
Shine your love light
At least…
Help slay the beast
At the very least

Break it down to the simple elements…
Is what I meant

Use the might of love’s light
Set things right
Time to fight the good fight
Right the slight
Insight in sight
Insight is in sight
Shine your love light
Shine our love light
Come shine your love light, alright?

Or is it very nearly scary out?
A: It is gnarly hairy scary out

Am I dreaming…
On the edge of screaming
Think I’m going to shout
The sky turned black
As a superstitious cat
Mercy, mercy
Please don’t cross me
The wind started to cry and howl
Feel like they’re gonna disembowel
Lord, can ya see?
Lord, ohhh help me!
May mortality follow eternity

I think
It’s getting black as ink
They might
Be turning day to night
Does anybody have a spark
May light overshadow the dark
Ominous upon us
It’s going to reign ominous upon us
Ominous upon us
