[Verse 1]
When the snow turns black
I'll be back, I'll be here
Between the blinking of an eye
When the screams attack
Welcome back, cavalier
Before the newborn starts to cry
And it's all in the eyes of a child
Flaming star or the call of the wild

[Chorus]
Black Christmas, Devil's Eve
The whispers in the breeze
Black Christmas, Devil's wine
The river bleeds in time

[Verse 2]
Where the red clouds chase
That's the place in a dream
Across the sun's hot blazing sky
Where he hides his face
In disgrace for his queen
He must choose the way she dies
And they say when his eyes turn to green
He'll awake living sin never seen
[Verse 3]
Watches over you
That's the clue to believe
An instant and you're hypnotised
Watch his eyes look through
False or true to deceive
You take his place, you're crucified
And they say when his eyes turn to black
Will he stay or return to his damned infernal pack?

[Chorus]
Black Christmas, Devil's Eve
The whispers in the breeze
Black Christmas, Devil's wine
The river bleeds in time
Black Christmas, Devil's Eve
The whispers, the whispers
Black Christmas, Devil's wine
Black Christmas
