Krampus Nacht - Dark Symphony

Youtube channel:    / @calliztodarksymphony  

We took the original concept of the Horned King and dragged it through a digital cathedral of Industrial Metal, Orchestral chaos, and AI-generated darkness in Dark Symphony style.

This is a cinematic re-imagining of the legendary track "Krampus" by the one and only Snowy Shaw. This version features rewritten lyrics and a completely new arrangement, serving as a dark tribute and derivative work based on the original masterpiece.

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Veni, Krampus. Veni, Krampus.
Spiritus Malus.

[Verse 1]
The solstice sun has withered, the frost begins to bite
The stars turn cold and hollow in the dead of winter night
Forget the saint of silver, forget the bells that chime
For something ancient wakens, outside the reach of time
Hear the rattle of the iron? The dragging of the chain?
A shadow walks the mountain, through the freezing, driving rain.

[Pre-Chorus]
The children tremble in their beds, the hearth fire burning low
No mercy for the wicked ones, across the blackened snow
Hide your faces! Lock the doors!
The shadow’s claw is at the floor!

[Chorus]
Krampusnacht!
The Horned King comes to claim his due
Krampusnacht!
A dark reflection, a nightmare true!
No sugar plums, no golden light
Only the terror of the Alpine night!
(Ave Krampus!)

[Verse 2]
He carries not a velvet bag, but a basket made of bone
To haul the wretched spirits to his frozen, jagged throne
With birch and branch he’ll leave his mark, a signature of pain
While the village sleeps in silence, he breaks the moral chain
The switch is raised, the strike is swift, the penance has begun
There is no place to hide away, there’s nowhere left to run.

[Bridge]
Is it a myth? A winter tale?
To make the stubborn heart turn pale?
No... look into his glowing eyes
And see where your salvation dies.

[Final Chorus]
Krampusnacht!
The Horned King comes to claim his due
Krampusnacht!
A dark reflection, a nightmare true!
The bells are broken! The night is long!
The mountains sing his wicked song!

[Outro]
Saint Nicholas has turned his head...
The naughty ones are cold... and dead.
