1. KRAMPUS HAS ARRIVED

(Instrumental)


2. THE KLOVEN HOOF OF KRAMPUS

The moon rises on krampusnacht the children put to bed
Clop goes the krampus hoofs on the roof over your head
Comes in tow with old saint night have you been good or bad?
With you receive a present or be stuffed into my bag?!?

True devil in the flesh pointed tongue and fangs
Races through the chimney where childrens stocking hang
Saint Nick or krampus which one will you get?
You awaken from your slumber krampus at the foot of your bed

The Kloven Hoof Of Krampus!


3. GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

Twinkling candles on yuletide trees
Folklore of yore blown indoors by the coldest oldest breeze
unseen watchers peering through frosted french panes
wintry ghosts of christmas presents enter through where mistletoe hangs

A glacial shiver races down your back
you gaze upon whats under the tree
Christmas morning here at last
Gifts unwrapped spirits set free

Shackled ghastly chains jingle mimic chris kringles sleigh bells
The most silent night draped in the thickest blanketed spells
Apparitions sway in hallways quiet children dream of sugar plums
Wasting away in solitude until christmas morning comes!


4. A HEART BLACKER THAN COAL

You rest your tired head lay in bed a day of jolly
You dream of toys and presents christmas trees boughs of green holly
Lest we forget the goat of christmas list he checks
Awake in the night stomping hoof over your head

A face in the fire grinning bearing teeth
Secrets in the smoke that weave around the tree
The fires burning bright yet you shiver cold
Expecting christmas presents ALL YOU GET IS COAL!!!!!!!!!!
If you see the fire dwindle stoke the flames anew
Cold fireplaces when krampus comes down thru the flue
The legends were not legends the stories were all true
You hear the jingle of sleigh bells you know he's here for you

A Heart blacker than coal

You awaken from your slumber hear a rustle near the tree
Sounds like santa paid his visit so presents must lay beneath
You expect saint nick you expect a red coat
Something's running towards your room it’s an evil bleating goat

Beat with a birch rod stuffed into his sack
Dragged into the forest in the basket on his back
Deep into the forest never been this far before
Come upon a clearing in the snow

Hear those jingle bells, harbinger of hell
In Krampus bag are broken toys and ancient spells
Demons prowl the night they lurk on christmas eve
Krampus surly does not care if you believe
Your fate is sealed when you hear stomping on your roof
The bleat of goat and the clopping of his hoof
Those jingle bells do not come from santa's sleigh
Don't be mistaken christmas day is krampus day

A Heart blacker than coal


5. THE DEVIL OF THE 25TH

On the 22nd tattletale and tell the teacher lies
23rd walk the streets of town swipe a bakers pie
24th laugh a granny's ill curse a mother sick
3am haunted by the devil of the 25th

From Advent’s dawn to Yuletide’s eve,
He marks the names of those who deceive
With every tantrum, fib, or spat,
Krampus sharpens his birchwood bat

No milk no cookies no carrots for reindeer
Throw you in a sack of coal bringing gifts of fear
The Christmas tree is void of gifts
haunted by the devil of the 25th

By October's end, the ledgers brimming
Dark ink scrawled hands unforgiving
A sack full of wailing, birch rod in hand
The Angels will weep in this winter wonderland

Santa gives krampus takes
Santa loves krampus hates
You hear sleigh bells
They're not santas
Who's on your roof?
IT IS KRAMPUS!

From Advent’s dawn to Yuletide’s eve,
He marks the names of those who deceive
With every tantrum, fib, or spat,
Krampus sharpens his birchwood bat
