Hildegard von Blingin' - Krampusnacht

Curling horn and cloven hoof
Garnet red his tongue
On his back, a leather sack
For snatching up the young

Sable fur and jagged claw
Bronze his ringing bell
Thin and quick, his birchwood stick
For children who rebel

Hoofprints in the snow
To the woods we cannot go
Krampusnacht is nigh
Guard safe thy soul
Lest he come and give thee coal
Krampusnacht is nigh

Light the hearth and turn the lock
Sing a merry song
He doth roam in darkened home
Where shadows grow and throng

Heed our warning, little ones
Yuletide now is here
Keep in line, for in the pines
Is Krampus ever near
Hoofprints in the snow
To the woods we cannot go
Krampusnacht is nigh
Guard safe thy soul
Lest he come and give thee coal
Krampusnacht is nigh

To the woods we cannot go
Krampusnacht is nigh
Guard safe thy soul
Lest he come and give thee coal
Krampusnacht is nigh
