Текст пісні
The snow is turning grey tonight
The moon has hidden all its light
You hear a bell but not a sleigh
Something wicked comes this way
You didn't listen to your mom
You broke the vase and stayed too calm
Saint Nick has checked his list twice through
And crossed his name right off of you
Now horns are rising from the drifts
He's coming not to bring you gifts
A birch branch in his clawed hand
Walking through the frozen land
So lock the doors and dim the glow
There's footsteps crunching in the snow
He's smelling fear and tasting sin
Don't let the shadow wander in
Oh Krampus comes when you are bad
The darkest Christmas to be had
With cloven hooves and rusty chain
To take you to his dark domain
Goodbye to joy hello to fear
The Christmas devil is finally here
He doesn't care for cookies sweet
He wants the naughty kids to eat
Or maybe toss you in his sack
And carry you upon his back
To places where the fire burns
Where naughty children never learn
The coal is not enough this year
The punishment is strict I fear
So silence now don't make a peep
He watches you while you're asleep
But not with love and not with care
He's dragging nightmares through the air
Oh Krampus comes when you are bad
The darkest Christmas to be had
With cloven hooves and rusty chain
To take you to his dark domain
Goodbye to joy hello to fear
The Christmas devil is finally here
Saint Nicholas turned his head
He left you to the beast instead
No reindeer pausing on the roof
Just the stamping of the hoof
You should have shared your toys and stuff
But now the holiday gets rough
Oh Krampus comes when you are bad
The darkest Christmas to be had
With cloven hooves and rusty chain
To take you to his dark domain
Goodbye to joy hello to fear
The Christmas devil is finally here
Greetings from the darker side
There is nowhere left to hide
Merry Christmas dread and fright
Krampus owns the silent night
