- - - I, KRAMPUS - - -


I am the son of the season
Hear the bitter wind scream my name
The moon of celebration
My eyes burn with winter's flame

Krampus
Krampus

What do you wish
Little child?
I give to you nothing
And take everything

Born of those ancient traditions
Deal punishment to the profane
Holiday of desecration
Krampus blessing and disdain

Krampus
Krampus

What do you wish
Little child?
I give to you nothing
And take everything

Crimson eyes
Blackened fur
Devil horns
I, Krampus
Talon hands
Cloven hooves
Season dread
I, Krampus

have you been naughty
have you been nice?
it makes no difference
existence in winter
haunted snow globes

I am not Odin or Saint Nick
But will feast on the innocent
The chains of doom jingle like
Bells of damnation instruments

Krampus
Krampus

What do you wish
Little child?
I give to you nothing
And take everything

Crimson eyes
Blackened fur
Devil horns
I, Krampus
Talon hands
Cloven hooves
Season dread
I, Krampus
