Krampus Of The Bells

Intro

(Ooh, ooh, keep so still)

(Ooh, ooh, the dark won't spill)

Verse 1

Chains I hear on the rooftop

Rust on the gutter and the frost

Something breathing in the chimney

Coal-black fingers find the wall

Pre-Chorus

Little

Chorus

Krampus come to count the children

Krampus come to weigh the wrong

Rattling a rusted rattle

Dragging out the dark too long

Krampus know your name already

Krampus wrote it down in birch

Run and hide behind your mother

He still finds you in the church

Post-Chorus

(Run, run, run)

(Beg, beg, beg)

Verse 2

Cloven tracks across the doorway

Where the milk was left to sour

Something whistles through the keyhole

Then it takes another hour

Pre-Chorus

Little

Chorus

Krampus come to count the children

Krampus come to weigh the wrong

Rattling a rusted rattle

Dragging out the dark too long

Krampus know your name already

Krampus wrote it down in birch

Run and hide behind your mother

He still finds you in the church

Post-Chorus

(Run, run, run)

(Beg, beg, beg)

Verse 3

Bell and birch and bitter blizzard

Bag of all the boys who lied

Every step he takes is slower

Every step is right behind

Bridge

Under the moon holding your thread

Careful with the ones you swore you'd forget

One for the hours that never move

One for the footsteps soft in the room

Chorus

Krampus come to count the children

Krampus come to weigh the wrong

Rattling a rusted rattle

Dragging out the dark too long

Krampus know your name already

Krampus wrote it down in birch

Run and hide behind your mother

He still finds you in the church

Post-Chorus

(Run, run, run)

(Beg, beg, beg)

(Run, run, run)

(Beg, beg, beg)
