christmas lights explode
infront of your abode
your folks and siblings die
you watch them burn inside
you run fast into your car
and drive somewhere far
you don't stop at the red light
so the truck and you collide
your body comes flying out
you scramble for a heavenly route
but you know you're going to hell
the indictment as clear as a bell
but you wake safely in your bed
not the immortal doom and dread
your parents are still alive
and you just turned five
you see the christmas lights outside
you don't have a friend to confide
all these dark secrets to
what are we going to do with you
a young kid with sinister dreams
what are we gonna do with him
and you just turned five
and we need to stay alive
this christmas night
the christmas lights
