THE BEAST

From the album October Rust, realesed in August 1996 by Roadrunner Records. Wake up, it's Christmas mourn Those loved have long since gone The stockings are hung, but who cares? Reserved for those no longer there Six feet beneath me sleep Black lights hang from the tree Accents of dead holly Whoa mistletoe (It's growing cold) I'm seeing ghosts (I'm drinking old) Red water Red water Red water chase them away My table's been set for but seven Just last year I dined with eleven Goddamn ye, merry gentlemen Whoa mistletoe (It's growing cold) I'm seeing ghosts (I'm drinking old) Red water Red water Red water chase them away
