Black Xmas

[Verse 1]

When the snow turns black

I'll be back, I'll be here

Between the blinking of an eye

When the screams attack

Welcome back, cavalier

Before the newborn starts to cry

And it's all in the eyes of a child

Flaming star or the call of the wild

[Chorus]

Black Christmas, Devil's Eve

The whispers in the breeze

Black Christmas, Devil's wine

The river bleeds in time

[Verse 2]

Where the red clouds chase

That's the place in a dream

Across the sun's hot blazing sky

Where he hides his face

In disgrace for his queen

He must choose the way she dies

And they say when his eyes turn to green

He'll awake living sin never seen

[Verse 3]

Watches over you

That's the clue to believe

An instant and you're hypnotised

Watch his eyes look through

False or true to deceive

You take his place, you're crucified

And they say when his eyes turn to black

Will he stay or return to his damned infernal pack?

[Chorus]

Black Christmas, Devil's Eve

The whispers in the breeze

Black Christmas, Devil's wine

The river bleeds in time

Black Christmas, Devil's Eve

The whispers, the whispers

Black Christmas, Devil's wine

Black Christmas
