The Ghosts of Christmas Past

The Ghosts of Christmas Past

Ref:
I am haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past
Forever cursed for deeds that I have done
Redemption I might find
In your arms tonight
Forgiveness I will seek
For my whole life

1)
I hear sounds of jangling chains
Heavy footsteps on the floor
Coming from another room
Closer, getting closer soon
Icy fingers on my neck
Screaming I awake from frightful dreams

2)
Silent, all is silent now
No sound, no light, just darkest night
I grab my pillow, close my eyes
And hope and pray to God I may
Live to see another day

I am haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past
Forever cursed for deeds that I have done
Redemption I might find
In your arms tonight
Forgiveness I will seek
For my whole life

3)
The spirits of the dead are calling me
To take my place among the wicked souls
In hellfire I shall burn
Suffering forevermore
Collecting bones
In ditches filled with gore

4)
Have mercy ghosts of Christmas yet to come
My future I can see already clear
No flowers on my grave
A tombstone without name
A rotten corpse remembered for its hate

5)
How can I change this thing I have become?
How can I stop this dark ride into doom?
In fear I´ll stand before
This court on judgement day
Await the sentence that will seal my fate

I am haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past
Forever cursed for deeds that I have done
Redemption I might find
In your arms tonight
Forgiveness I will seek
For my whole life
