Chains of the Crimson Sleigh (Heavy Metal) - HotPotMusic

The bells toll heavy in the snow,
A crimson curse I cannot throw.

Bound to the sleigh, a hollow shell,
This jolly façade, my frozen hell.
The laughter’s fake, the cheer’s a lie,
I’m just a puppet in the starry sky.

They watch, they cheer, they beg for more,
While I’m a prisoner of this lore.
My hands are cracked, my soul is torn,
This endless night, where nightmares are born.

I didn’t choose this crimson sleigh,
A cursed name I must obey.
The reindeer’s breath, the icy chains,
A never-ending, tortured reign.

Let it end! Let it fade!
No more gifts! No more charade!

The children dream, they don’t see,
The weight of what this costs to me.
A thousand years of endless toil,
A burning mind wrapped in tinsel and foil.

The shadow calls, it pulls the strings,
It feeds the myth, the songs it sings.
“Ho, ho, ho,” a mocking cry,
Each night I wish to simply die.

I didn’t choose this crimson sleigh,
A cursed name I must obey.
The reindeer’s breath, the icy chains,
A never-ending, tortured reign.

Let it end! Let it fade!
No more gifts! No more charade!

Once I dreamed of simple days,
A quiet life, a peaceful haze.
But now the snow falls like ash from the sky,
And every night, I wonder why.

Break the sleigh! Burn the throne!
This is not my home!

I didn’t choose this crimson sleigh,
A cursed name I must obey.
No end in sight, no dawn to see,
This Santa Claus will never be free.

LET! IT! END!
