The Legend of The Krampus

by ShaneTheMusician

/

about

For this Christmas I thought of doing one thing since I already done remakes of old Carols as well as my own unique album in the past. For this year I decided to do something that was the total opposite of this:
shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/the-legend-of-santa-claus

So I thought, why not do a legend song on the Krampus and have Light Harmony sing that.



For those who don't know. Krampus is a mythical figure that is basically what would happen to kids on the Naughty List on Christmas. Where Santa would give good gifts to good children, Krampus would snatch them away for eternal punishment. However I refuse to believe Santa would go so far as sic Krampus on kids whether they're naughty or not. So in this scenario, I decided to have this be the origin of their Archrivalry. Santa used to be OK with what the Krampus was doing until he saw what the Krampus was actually doing.

lyrics

He's stolen the naughty list.

He's checked it more than just twice.

He waits for Saint Nick to leave.

Just so he can't interfere with you.

He waits until your sleeping.

So he can snatch you at night.

He does not care of regret.

Tonights the night Krampus comes for you.

He's got his own gifts for you.

But they are not toys or sweets.

Devices of extreme pain.

Tortures await those who cross his path.

You hear the sounds of hooves stomp.

Across your roof Christmas Eve.

They are not of the Reindeer.

That is his feet walking to your door.

He's got murder on his brain.

He will not stop his mission.

You have just earned his anger.

The fuck did you do to piss him off?

He's at your bedroom door now.

No where to run and hide kid.

He'll get you no matter what.

Just surrender and accept his wrath.

He breaks your door wide open.

You're armed with a baseball bat.

He just laughs at you and says.

Do you really think that will hurt me?

That goat like monstrosity.

Steps towards you so slowly.

He reaches claws towards you.

Stuffing your body into his sack.

As he takes you to his world.

He torments you on the way.

Beating you with his big cane.

He however says he's warming up.

He takes to into his lair.

Among the naughty children.

All bruised from their own cane hits.

You are in the point of no return.

He forces them to labour.

Making bad toys for the kids.

Now you know the dark secret.

You are now all Krampus' Evil Elves.

Help!

Please!

No!

Don't!

Stop!

Why?

Help!

Me!

Please!

No!

Santa comes back to your house.

Changing his mind about you.

You're off the naughty list now.

But it's too late he finds you are gone.

He takes his Sleigh to South pole.

Storming the Krampus domain.

Demanding your release now.

Krampus instead goads him to a fight.

Santa then draws his sword out.

Slicing off of his cane arm.

Krampus is now wounded here.

Santa helps you and the children leave.

You're all home safe in your beds.

In time for Christmas Morning.

You have a new lease on life.

Pledging your time to being more nice.

However the Krampus is still.

Out there looking for revenge and

He will stop at nothing until

He gets both his claws upon you.

So you better watch your step and

Pray he never finds his way back.

No!
