Christmas after dark
Lyrics
[Intro — distant bells, low guitar feedback]
Snow falls black beneath the midnight sky,
Red lights burning while the cold winds cry.
The town goes quiet, but we know the sound—
Something wicked is coming to town.
One bell rings.DING.Guitars explode.
Verse 1
Streetlights flicker, twelve o'clock,
Frost on the windows, deadbolt locked.
Christmas trees glow in crimson light,
Everybody's waiting for Christmas night.
Choirs are singing down empty streets,
Boots hit the pavement to a heavy beat.
There's something different in the winter air—
Like Christmas magic doesn't play fair.
Pre-Chorus
Turn the lights down,
Let the shadows in.
Close your eyes now—
Let the night begin.
Chorus
WELCOME TO CHRISTMAS AFTER DARK!
Where the cold meets the fire and the night leaves a mark.
Raise your glass, raise your horns to the sky,
Let the Christmas bells scream while the reindeer fly.
CHRISTMAS AFTER DARK!
No sleeping tonight.
We're alive in the shadows,
Under crimson lights.
Christmas after dark—
LET THE ROCK BEGIN!
Verse 2
Candy canes hanging from telephone lines,
Black leather boots underneath Christmas lights.
The radio's playing that holiday sound,
But somebody's turned the distortion up loud.
Snow on the rooftops, smoke in the air,
Neon reflections everywhere.
The North Star shines like a warning above—
Tonight we're celebrating chaos and love.
Pre-Chorus
Turn the lights down,
Let the shadows in.
Hear those bells now—
Here we go again.
Chorus
WELCOME TO CHRISTMAS AFTER DARK!
Where the cold meets the fire and the night leaves a mark.
Raise your glass, raise your horns to the sky,
Let the Christmas bells scream while the reindeer fly.
CHRISTMAS AFTER DARK!
No sleeping tonight.
We're alive in the shadows,
Under crimson lights.
Christmas after dark—
LET THE ROCK BEGIN!
[Instrumental Break, Heavy guitar riff.Jingle bells underneath pounding drums.]
HEY!
HEY!
HEY!
Bridge — slower, haunting
When the world falls asleep,
That's when we come alive.
Underneath the Christmas moon,
We keep the flame alive.
No perfect angels,
No silent night—
Just broken hearts
And burning lights.
And if tomorrow never comes…
We'll rock tonight.
Breakdown
BELLS!
BOOM.
GUITARS!
BOOM.
LIGHTS!
BOOM.
CHRISTMAS—
AFTER—
DARK!
Final Chorus
WELCOME TO CHRISTMAS AFTER DARK!
Turn the whole damn city into one giant spark!
Raise your voices, let the heavens hear,
We're gonna rock this Christmas
'Til the end of the year!
CHRISTMAS AFTER DARK!
Let the midnight ignite!
With the snow falling down
And the world burning bright.
CHRISTMAS AFTER DARK!
WE'RE ALIVE TONIGHT!
Outro
[Guitar rings out beneath slow sleigh bells.]
Snow keeps falling.
The lights stay burning.
[And somewhere in the distance…another bell rings.DING.]
