lyrics

The Shadow of St. Nicholas

V1:
The demon of christmas, The shadow of Saint Nicholas,
Check all the locks and tuck all the children in,
Don’t you hear him creeping in, smell of sediment
bad boys and girls will be missing by nights end,
The ancestor Perchten, Wielding a birch stick,
Heavy on the back a basket full of children,
Don’t you know the name, Don’t you make a sound,
Everybody quiet Krampus is in town

Chorus:
Always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
The beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
To gut you and stuff you and take your life

So, always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
A beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
There's nowhere to hide when the darkness comes alive

V2:
Do you hear him coming, the horns are scraping, in the darkness there's a dense heavy breathing,
You know he’s coming, the bed frame is bumping,
Underneath the bed there might be something,
A horned demon deity, A pagontistic apathy,
Coming for the all the bad people like you and me,
Don’t you know the name, Don’t you make a sound,
Quiet Everybody krampus is in town

Chorus:
Always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
A beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
To gut you and stuff you and take your life quiet Krampus is in town

So, always try to be nice (Krampus)
On these dark pagan nights (Krampus)
A beast he soon will arise (Krampus)
There's nowhere to hide when the darkness comes alive
