- - - BLACK LIGHTS - - -


Black lights hang from a withered tree
Baubles dimming in a failing breeze
I sip from mulled wine as the house
Smells of death and holly

Celebrating the becoming
Another year, joyous singing
I mourn those long since gone
Those trapped within this song

The stockings hang filled with cobwebs
Portraits glare with the eyes of the dead
The cemetery beckons me
Awash in tears recently shed

The rain came down cold and grey
But I couldn’t feel it
The ghost remain on this day
You should have seen it
Standing ‘round the Christmas tree
You should have heard it
Choirs of the restless screams
I’ll never forget it

Sad offerings wrapped in black weave
The tinsel flutters pitifully
Six feet beneath me, will they rest
As I turn fitfully?

Celebrating the becoming
Another year, joyous singing
I mourn those long since gone
Those trapped within this song

Idols buried in the frozen ground
As I linger here as if spellbound
I curse thee, merry men of glee
Hatred rekindled and unbound

The rain came down cold and grey
But I couldn’t feel it
The ghost remain on this day
You should have seen it
Standing ‘round the Christmas tree
You should have heard it
Choirs of the restless screams
I’ll never forget it

Aegritu transiens anno
Venit cum eis aquam fellis
Mihi opus est manere in praeterito
Et excoquam ad omnem felicitatem


Celebrating the becoming
Another year, joyous singing
I mourn those long since gone
Those trapped within this song

The rain came down cold and grey
But I couldn’t feel it
The ghost remain on this day
You should have seen it
Standing ‘round the Christmas tree
You should have heard it
Choirs of the restless screams
I’ll never forget it
