[Intro]
Black snow
Cold smoke in my lungs (yeah)
Red wax
Candles on the drums (grr)
[Verse 1]
Midnight wreaths on a rusted gate
Saints hang low, all the sinners late
Black boots drag through the frozen mud
Gold teeth flash like a pagan flood
Hood up, I’m the star on the dead tree
Gifts in the trunk, that’s a bad spree
Carols from the block sound like war cries
Angels on the wall with the crossed eyes (uh)
[Chorus]
This that dark Christmas, coal in the crown (crown)
Bells go quiet when we come around (skrrt)
Silent night, but the drums too loud
Praise get mumbled, money gets bowed
Dark Christmas, halos in the dirt
Candy-cane blade tucked deep in the shirt
If I slide once, that’s a holy curse
Pray on me first, you gon’ leave in a hearse (brrt)
[Verse 2]
Red scarf wrap like a ritual rope
Snowstorm smell like powder and smoke
Three wise guys in the back of the ride
Frankincense fumes, got ‘em tracking my side
Cookies on the plate but the plate got crumbs
I been in the kitchen where the cold steel hums
Stockings on the mantle full of old regrets
And a chrome little toy that erase all debts (rah)
[Chorus]
This that dark Christmas, coal in the crown
Bells go quiet when we come around
Silent night, but the drums too loud
Praise get mumbled, money gets bowed
Dark Christmas, halos in the dirt
Candy-cane blade tucked deep in the shirt
If I slide once, that’s a holy curse
Pray on me first, you gon’ leave in a hearse (woo)
