about

Scum that you are, prostrate yourself before the brilliance of the Christmas Light.

lyrics

Gather here, by the fire,
as the last embers fade
into darkness...
And the last sign of life
in the abyss of our hollowness
will be the intensifying prismatic glow
of the Christmas Light!

Christmas Light!

As the frost grips our fingers
the snowfall will break our silence.
Transfixed by the rapture,
our secret shames will be erased
in the blinding and chromatic beams
of the Christmas Light!

Christmas Light!

Thousands of people will share in this moment
where little dreams mean so much less.
As its brilliance consumes
all our wasteful lives
we're rewritten by
the perfect sparkling
myriad of colours -
despite all our dullness

It's reflecting off nothing but
pure snow...

We will be nothing but
pure snow...

red, green,
red, green,
Christmas Light!
