Nuclear Christmas Light

Intro

Yeah…

Ho ho— hold up

Why the snow humming?

Verse

Crackling fire in the TV screen

Anchor says “calm down,” whole sky turns green

Nativity scene next to canned food stacks

Merry Christmas from the fallout facts

Politicians toast with expensive wine

Talking ‘bout peace while they crossing red lines

Big red button wrapped under the tree

Pressed that once, now it’s history

Chorus

White snow, green glow

Jingle bells in a dead-zone echo

Santa’s sleigh in the radioactive night

Christmas Eve under nuclear light

Verse

Santa flying low through the ash and smoke

North Pole iced out, but it’s not a joke

Rudolph’s nose still lighting the way

Only thing glowing that ain’t decay

Elves in the workshop wearing gas masks

Making toys nobody’s left to ask

Milk and cookies turned nuclear gray

Ho ho hope you stocked supplies for days

Chorus

White snow, green glow

Silent night with a Geiger echo

From the chimney to the blast-zone plain

Merry Christmas in the nuclear rain

Bridge

Peace on Earth…

Limited edition.

Verse

Boom bap drums, world on pause

History ends with a human flaw

We had time, we had brains, we had art

But chose domination over a heart

Santa drops gifts, it’s a handwritten note

“Y’all could’ve chilled, now the planet’s toast”

Sleigh fades out in a frozen mist

Last myth left in the apocalypse

Chorus

White snow, green glow

Christmas lights where cities were, yo

From the sleigh tracks to the fallout plain

Happy holidays—

We did it again

Outro

Ho ho ho…

Next year maybe peace.

…if there is a next year.
