When I was a kid
I loved what you did
Spreading your cheer
Until that year
I heard shuffle in the house
So I creeped quiet like a mouse
I went down my hall
but wasn’t prepared for what I saw
And there you stood
You were up to no good
All dressed in red
While my father laid in bed
Under the mistletoe
What a place to go
You took my mother by the arm
And now I wish you harm
Last year I swore
While peeking through the door
If I ever see your face…
Again, I’ll put you in your place
Last year I swore
Just like the year before
If I see your face again
You’ll meet your end
Well, this year I swear
You better beware
Of creeping in this home
Cause I’m not alone
How many houses
Did you enter
Regardless of owners
Regardless of renters
How many mothers
Do you defile
Well, their husbands sleep
All the while
How many houses
Have you entered
Bringing in joy
Of the winter
How many mothers
Did you trick
Well, I think that
You’re pretty sick
You think you’re a pretty big man
A pretty big man
Spreading your cheer
All over this land
If I saw your face again
That that would be the last time
That you would meet your end
This year on the 24th
When you come down from the north
I’ve watched home alone I know what to do
I’ll be waiting for you
Tarred and feathered
Burnt black and blue
These are just some things
That are waiting for you
Poked and prodded
And pushed around too
These are just some things
That are waiting for you

Don't forget
To forget
What you got

Piles and piles and pile of plastic
Piles and piles and pile of plastic

Xmas Eve

Let the bells toll
Let the bells toll
It’s Christmas Eve
And our hearts are all full
Let the bells chime
Let the bells chime
It’s Christmas Eve
It’s almost time
.................
The tree is all lite
And the presents below
The nutcrackers stands
All in a row
The stockings are hung
The candles are bright
There’s not a chance
That I’ll sleep tonight
The cookies are baked
And the milk is set out
I think that Saint Nick
Is already in rout
The stockings are hung
The candles are bright
There’s not a chance
That I’ll sleep tonight
…………..
I can’t sleep
No, I can’t dream
Not after all
The things that I’ve seen
……………
We’ve been waiting
All year long
Anticipating
And singing our song
Christmas time is
Finally here
It’s the best
Time of the year
……….
It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time

Well, the bombs keep bursting
Into the sky
I keep wonder why
Even try
Everything feels like yesterday
I was hoping somethings wouldn’t stay
Watch it all go away
All good things must come to an end
The seasons changing for us again
At the turning of the year
Then all the terrible things must end
I hope it’s the same for us, my friend
At the turning of the year
.............
Another conflict
Forcing sides
All of us
Along for the ride
The innocent
Fall in between
The grass that suffers
Is never green
Self prophesying
To our demise
We all fallen short
Of the wise
We looked away
So we don’t see
How close it came
To you and me
The plague seems to linger
over this land
There’s so much
That we don’t understand
We tried to shelter
We tried to hide
We tried to keep it
All inside
It just seems to lingers
It never goes away
So we trudge through
The day to day
We’ve lost the battle
We’re losing the war
And we can’t remember
What for
What are we fighting for
What are we fighting for
The streets aren’t safe
To cross like before
The ones who protect
Don't protect anymore
If you protest
You’ll be taken down
Don’t try that
In a small town
They drive the steak
Through the center of us all
They set us up
Just to watch his fall
The price of property
Can’t be obtained
The price of life
Feels insane
Stretch so thin
With nothing to show
We’ve been left in the cold
With nowhere to go
Is this all
We have to live for
We wanted more
Yes, we wanted more
We made it through
another terrifying year
We dodged some bullets,
but ended up here
We made it through another year
You made it through
Another terrifying year
We faced our demons
We faced our fear
We made it through another year

Let this season pass over us
Let this past year turn to dust
Let this year come to an end
My friend
Let this calendar page turn
Hopefully there’s lessons learned
Let this year come to an end
It’s been another terrifying year
Filled with Conflict
Filled with fear
It’s been another terrifying year
Well, here’s to the new year
I hope it’s better than the last
Cheers to the new year
And let the old one pass
It’s been another terrifying year
Filled with Conflict
Filled with fear
It’s been another terrifying year
So happy New Years baby
I hope it's better then the last

364 Days

Whiskey and cookies on the mantle
The children asleep wait for Saint Nick
While they sleep we can drink
The tree is hung - tribute to you
And three hundred and sixty four days til I see you again
And a thousand more tears
And a thousand more tears
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, at the North Pole
364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots, pour a drink
Try not to cry, try not to think
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, at the North Pole
364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots, pour a drink
Try not to cry, try not to think
Try not to think...
And you drink your eggnog and I'll drink my wine
Toast the season, but just one more time
The morning is coming, the whiskey is empty
The gifts have arrived, Saint Nick has come and gone
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, at the North Pole
364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots, pour a drink
Try not to cry, try not to think
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, at the North Pole
364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots, pour a drink
Try not to cry...
And it ends like it started, the hugs and the kisses
The bullshit flows, the bullshit flows
You raise your bottle, and I'll raise my flask
Toast Christmas future, and toast Christmas past
And when they're all gone, sit down in peace
Wait one more year
And pour just one more drink
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, at the North Pole
364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots, pour a drink
Try not to cry, try not to think
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, at the North Pole
364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots, pour a drink
Try not to cry, try not to think
Try not to think...
Saint Nicholas... All alone...

I don’t think I’ll get any presents this year
No, nothing at all
Not after what I did
Not after what I saw
I don’t think I’ll get any presents this year
Not after what I stole
The rocks will come tumbling down
I'll be buried in coal

It’s getting colder on this island
They put wreaths up in the streets
They say I should get out and enjoy the season
But I just want to retreat
You used to love the lights On prospect
How they would glimmer in your eyes
Now I can’t even go past there
I wont even try
I always assumed that you’d outlast me
I always assumed that you go on
I used to dream of the future
But it’s so hard, now that you’re gone
You used to gawk at the giant candelabra
Grand Army always had its charm
But there's no ice-skating in the park now
With you, grasping to my arm
No walking through the neighborhood
Down in Decker Heights
No Rockefeller Plaza
Not for the tree, not for the lights
I always cherished the times that we share
But I always assumed that you’d be here
I used to dream of the future
But it’s so hard and I can’t bare
Well the 25th can pass
I don’t even care
I won’t say the name
I wouldn’t even dare
It’s no holiday at all
Without you here
It’s only the ending
Of a terrible year

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you had fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
The rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The road is so long (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)

I was supposed to listen to this album this way. Thank you.

Hard to describe this one. Pleasantly unpleasant, delightfully uncomfortable. Weird spazzy black metal grindcore, I like it very much.

Great stuff. Dark, unhinged and brutal but still concise and purposeful enough to go straight for your throat.

A consistently amazing band! Brings in new elements without letting up on the intensity. The saxophone adds an interesting edge, helping with the cacophony, sometimes, almost melodic at others...
