Lyrics: 2024, Dan Loveschmidt

From the album "Sleighs of Fire"

(Chorus) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. (Alabaster) Alabaster crafts with a trembling hand, Once so proud, now under command. Santa's whip bites, dreams turned to sand. (Chorus) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. (Bushy Evergreen) Bushy weaves the wreaths of pain, Twisting garlands, bound by chain. A festive noose in the icy domain. (Chorus) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. (Shinny Upatree) Shinny builds the sleigh by night, His fingers bleed, his face turns white. A cursed craft for a cursed flight. (Chorus) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. (Wunorse Openslae) Wunorse toils on the sleigh’s bright gear, Polished steel hides his frozen tears. The jingle bells mask his endless fear. (Chorus) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. (Pepper Minstix) Pepper guards the factory’s gate, A watchful eye, sealed to fate. He chains himself to Santa's hate. (Chorus) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. (Sugarplum Mary) Mary stirs the cauldron's brew, Candy canes forged in misery’s hue. Sweetness hides the poison too. (Chorus) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. (Kandy Kane) Kandy paints the toys blood red, A festive hue, for children’s dread. Their little hands soak in elves' bloodshed. (Chorus - x2) Toy bells ring, the whip cracks loud, Lapland's joy is a twisted shroud. Seven slaves for a world so wide, Santa laughs as their tears collide. Deck the halls with screams tonight, Lapland bows to the tyrant’s might. Alabaster the Broken Bushy Evergreen the Bitter Shinny Upatree the Loyal Wunorse Openslae the Stoic Pepper Minstix the Trapped Sugarplum Mary the Cold Kandy Kane the Rebel
