Santa's Dark Ride (v1). Part of the 2024 Haunted Christmas Collection.
[Verse 1]
Snow was fallin’, lights aglow,
No peaceful vibes in the world below.
Families gather, huddled so tight,
Didn’t see the shadow in the pale moonlight.
Sleigh bells ring, but it ain’t no cheer,
It’s the sound of fear when the beast draws near.
Reindeer eyes burn, wild and crazed,
A cannibal pack in a crimson haze.
He lands on the roof with a bone-cold laugh,
Hatchet in his hand, got a killer's path.
Once a bringer of joy, now he’s bringin’ pain,
On this Christmas night, he’s gone insane.
[Chorus: Sampled High-Pitched Vocal]
He’s comin’ down your chimney, better lock that door,
Blood on his boots, red suit he wore.
Reindeer howlin’, hungry for the feast,
Santa’s dark ride, he’s the Christmas Beast.
[Verse 2]
Down the chimney, quiet as death,
Every step, you can feel his breath.
He ain’t got toys, just tools to maim,
A sack full of screams, you're playin’ his game.
The cookies crumble under bloody hands,
Milk turns sour, no merry plans.
Stockings filled with sharp surprise,
While shadows dance in children’s eyes.
He moves through the house like a specter cold,
A story much darker than was ever told.
His laugh ain't jolly, it's sharp and cruel,
Christmas Eve is Santa's night to rule.
[Chorus: Sampled High-Pitched Vocal]
He’s comin’ down your chimney, better lock that door,
Blood on his boots, red suit he wore.
Reindeer howlin’, hungry for the feast,
Santa’s dark ride, he’s the Christmas Beast.
[Bridge]
Rudolph’s nose glows, a sinister red,
Guidin’ the pack to the trails of dread.
Dasher and Dancer with teeth that gnash,
Prancer and Vixen leave nothin’ but ash.
The sleigh is a hearse, this night’s his domain,
With every gift left, he’s spreadin’ the pain.
So when you hear those hooves hit the snow,
Pray to the dark he’ll just let you go.
[Verse 3]
The town now silent, frozen in fear,
Santa’s laughter still rings in the people's ear.
No merry morning, just broken dreams,
Christmas lights cast haunted beams.
They say beware when the snow falls thick,
Of the man in red and his deadly trick.
He once was kind, but his heart’s gone black,
A killer rides in his midnight track.
The sleigh disappears as the dawn breaks thin,
A bloody trail left where the beast had been.
The legend grows with each darkened year,
Santa’s dark ride is the Christmas fear.
[Chorus: Sampled High-Pitched Vocal]
He’s comin’ down your chimney, better lock that door,
Blood on his boots, red suit he wore.
Reindeer howlin’, hungry for the feast,
Santa’s dark ride, he’s the Christmas Beast.
