about

Let it be said right away, this is not your typical Christmas song that we are presented to year after year.

Here we get acquainted with screaming hordes that thirst for blood, the Devil himself disguised as Santa Clause riding his pale horse, corpses swaying merrily from the trees and burning monks as the celebration of the Last Christmas ever takes place. All set to a groovy and well-written morbid tune.


Singer Frederik Juul Rasmussen explains: "Well, every band should have a Christmas song and this demented ditty is ours. Happy holidays!

lyrics

The red and holly signifies
that the time has come again
A season of familiar warmth
now that we have reached the end

There's song and laughter in the air
and a smile on every face
Anticipation in our guts
as we say our final grace

Well, this is the last Christmas ever
so let us scream and shout
The stockings are dismembered feet
with the flesh and bones scooped out
Yeah, this is the last Christmas ever
so raise your hands to the sky
Santa Claus rides a pale horse
and we're all gonna die

A corpse is swaying merrily
from a rope tied to a tree
and the burning monks make a festive hearth
for the entire family

With all the looting we have done
there'll be plenty of gifts for all
And the doomsday carollers scream out
and I'm blind with alcohol

Yeah, this is the last Christmas ever...

Ho Ho Ho
