Black Cape Coal – Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He moves where the graveyards breathe
Black cape cut from midnight teeth
No name in the village mouth
Just the hush when the sun goes down

[Verse 2]
He keeps his vow in a skull-white mask
Carries winter in a rusted sack
Every alley knows his step
Every sinner holds its breath

[Pre-Chorus]
And by his side, fat laugh and red coat
A jolly saint with a coal-black joke
He winks at doom, he rings the bell
“Come on, boys, let’s raise some hell”

[Chorus]
Grim reaper, dark knight
Strike the fear, save the night
Grim reaper, dark knight
(Black wings) in the pale moonlight
Santa rides, sleigh in tow
Laughing through the afterglow
Grim reaper, dark knight
(Black wings) in the pale moonlight

[Verse 3]
They hit the town with a thunderclap
One hand cold, one gift sack packed
He lifts the cursed from the brink
She keeps the monsters off the ink

[Verse 4]
Coal for the liar, gold for the brave
Snow on the roofs of the newly saved
He guards the weak with a silent blade
While jingle bells swing through the shade

[Pre-Chorus]
And by his side, fat laugh and red coat
A jolly saint with a coal-black joke
He winks at doom, he rings the bell
“Come on, boys, let’s raise some hell”

[Bridge]
When the church bells crack at dawn
He doesn’t fade, he carries on
One brings the chill, one brings the cheer
A holy fright the dark ones fear

[Final Chorus]
Grim reaper, dark knight
Strike the fear, save the night
Grim reaper, dark knight
(Black wings) in the pale moonlight
Santa rides, sleigh in tow
Laughing through the afterglow
Grim reaper, dark knight
(Black wings) in the pale moonlight
