Grim Yuletide Tale
Verse 1: In the village cloaked in frost, where the shadows creep,
A darkened tale of Christmas in the night does seep,
The snow is falling heavy, covering the sins,
Of a Yuletide that turned grim, where the darkness begins.
Pre-Chorus: The tree is adorned with cobwebs and decay,
The lights flicker dimly, as the cold winds sway,
There's a chill in the air, and the laughter's gone cold,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the darkness unfolds.
Chorus: It's a grim Yuletide tale, where the snow turns to gray,
In the heart of the night, where the shadows play,
The carols are haunting, the cheer's turned to dread,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the spirits are dead.
It's a grim Yuletide tale, where the joy has been lost,
In the echoes of darkness, where the cold winds have crossed,
With each passing hour, the night grows more frail,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the light starts to pale.
Verse 2: In the town's old chapel, the bells toll with fright,
As the ghostly figures gather in the dead of the night,
The manger is empty, and the star has grown dim,
In a Christmas that's twisted, so cold and so grim.
Pre-Chorus: The snowflakes are dancing with a spectral glow,
As shadows of the past in the moonlight grow,
The children's laughter fades into the night,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the dark takes flight.
Chorus: It's a grim Yuletide tale, where the snow turns to gray,
In the heart of the night, where the shadows play,
The carols are haunting, the cheer's turned to dread,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the spirits are dead.
It's a grim Yuletide tale, where the joy has been lost,
In the echoes of darkness, where the cold winds have crossed,
With each passing hour, the night grows more frail,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the light starts to pale.
Bridge: As the clock strikes midnight, the phantoms arise,
With sorrow and shadows in their hollow eyes,
They sing a lament for the cheer that's gone,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the darkness has won.
Chorus: It's a grim Yuletide tale, where the snow turns to gray,
In the heart of the night, where the shadows play,
The carols are haunting, the cheer's turned to dread,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the spirits are dead.
It's a grim Yuletide tale, where the joy has been lost,
In the echoes of darkness, where the cold winds have crossed,
With each passing hour, the night grows more frail,
In this grim Yuletide tale, where the light starts to pale.
Outro: So as the night deepens and the shadows grow long,
Remember this tale, where the dark did belong,
In the heart of the season, where the cold winds prevail,
Echoes the story of a grim Yuletide tale.
