I fight with old wounds

Pain years have detuned

A weight I′ve long borneTo Klaus I have sworn

Reluctance and dread

Of whence I fled

Reluctance and dread

Reluctance and dread

Are they worth saving

Or deserve enslaving

Klaus needs my defense

You never let down a friend

Reluctance and dread

To whence I fled

To the North Pole I tread

Reluctance and dread

With dread, I tread

Tread through the northern wastes

With dread I tread, with dread I tread

With dread, I tread

Tread through the northern wastes

With dread I tread, to destiny

Meddlesome elves, how futile their fight

When they meet me, they'll regret their choice

I advance unguarded, that godling won′t show

Elven betrayal, their fate sown long ago

Plot of death and duplicity

Lie, cheat, kill, dominate

Plot of death for all my foes

Lay down and decompose

That silly godling was able to rule

But for his flaw, too weak to be cruel

I pulled the strings, gave them enough rope

Now he's long gone and their only hope

Plot of death and duplicity

Lie, cheat, kill, dominate

Plot of death for all my foes

Lay down and decompose

I feel for Dolph, as we return to home

His past is more than most could stand

I know he fears he's not strong enough

But I′m his protector, his demons rebuffed

I′m only a man, nothing special

Too little to give

I try to be strong, but fear that I'll fail

Too little to give

If I fail him, we′ll never succeed

The fate of yuletide we cannot concede

If we're defeated, the north will fall

The world thereafter, corruption for all

I′m only a man, nothing special

Too little to give

I try to be strong, but fear that I'll fail

Too little to give

If we′re defeated and darkness descends

At least we'll have fought until the end

If my strength fails and we both fall

I'll meet you again, my friend, in Valhalla

Waste of magic power, breaking these fools

How dare they defy me, they′ll soon be my tools

They can face me in life, or become my undead

Both ways I win, they′ve chosen bloodshed

I see you strong one, you don't know your limits

When I get to you, it′ll be your last Christmas

Impressive bravery, life of martial skills

Albeit inadequate to keep me from my kill

Crush the resistance

Crush the resistance

Crush the, the resistance

Crush the resistance

I greatly enjoy our little dance

I'll let you think that you have, have half a chance

I′ll play with you until you think that you've won

And then surprise, you′re dead, you're done

Crush the resistance

Crush the resistance

Crush the, the resistance

Crush the resistance

Flashbacks of torment, arrive in the past

Burned out memories, the carnage is vast

Indignation, for those I must save

Incineration, the north pole enslaved

Trauma and horror

What evil unleashed this destruction

Pain rebuilds, midst the deconstruction

Arrows, bodies, houses burn

Undead army roil and churn

Trauma and horror

If you won't give up, I′ll set up a siege

Sooner or later, you′ll call me your liege

Over the battlement, I'm raining death

I can be patient, ′til Kris draws his last breath

You'll never survive

The siege of The Northlands

Bombard and deprive

The siege of the Northlands

No match for dark magic, you don′t stand a chance

I'll wear you down, though your walls block advance

Up on the battlement, silhouette in the mist

My quarry, my brother, good old saint Kris

You′ll never survive

The siege of The Northlands

Bombard and deprive

The siege of the Northlands

Undead stretch to the horizon

Too many to fight

So many block our way

I don't have the might

I have sworn my life, and my life I will give

We battle the, the inexhaustible Horde

I fight 'cause it′s right, so long as I live

We battle the, the inexhaustible Horde

Introspect, past humiliation

Deeper breaths, clear manipulation

Retrospect, our enemy Krampus

Lord of death, cause of all my madness

Embrace the pain

Lest it drive you insane

Embrace the pain

′Til your enemies slain

Clarity, open to the pain

Wash through me, show my disdain

My power, I feel the arcane

Annihilation, embrace my domain

Embrace the pain

Lest it drive you insane

Embrace the pain

'Til your enemies slain

Too little too late, the godling and his friend

When they get here, nothing left to defend

Even if he arrives, he′s doomed by his past

No way to forgive the trauma too vast

Quarry on the battlement

Good old saint Kris

Quarry on the battlement

Meet the abyss

The pitiful elves now need the outcast

But they'll never accept the godling′s dark past

My masterstroke, I'll rule the north Pole

It′s coming together, soon Kris in a hole

Quarry on the battlement

Good old saint Kris

Quarry on the battlement

Meet the abyss

I'm not ashamed. I'm not afraid

I deserve nothing, good or bad

I choose my virtue, I fight ′cause it′s right

Justice doesn't play favorites, neither do I

Whether they deserve it, it′s not me to choose

If I don't fight then my virtue I′ll lose

I fight with Klaus, to save the north pole

Unto Valhalla, I pledge my soul

Newfound strength, Dolph's power grows

Newfound strength, vanquish our foes

Newfound power, cleave the horde

Newfound power, indomitable force

Newfound courage, his strength bolsters mine

Newfound courage, our fates intertwined

Newfound strength, we can win

Newfound strength, so it begins

Newfound strength

Newfound strength
