Godless Christmas Eve (Radio Edit)
Words and Music by Wade Mosher & Brian Ruddy. © 2019

I claimed my end ten years ago,
Fell drunk down Bible Hill,
Past the family plots and the haves and have-nots,
Where judgment tracks the bill.

I'm bound to ghosts of Christmas past,
The old haunts never leave,
In the Queen's Hotel, in this bottle of hell,
On a Godless Christmas Eve.

Ring the bells for the lost years.
Straight to hell, well I'm already here.
There's a story to tell in every drunkard's farewell....

A two room shack with baby in back,
Dad swigs the yuletide beer.
The money's all spent and there's none left for rent,
Not a dime for Christmas cheer.

The kids sled down the factory hills,
The snow's as black as sheep.
Better here than at home where the blood paints the walls,
On a Godless Christmas Eve.

Ring, ring the bells, it's Christmas Eve,
Straight to hell, I'll take the lead.
With a solo tune, I'll drink for two.
There's nothing left for me to lose.
Here on this Godless Christmas Eve.

For 30 odd years I raped the land,
Like St Nick in reverse.
I took the road that never leads home,
And I watched those bridges burn.

Now I'm wasted in this palace of filth,
With nutters just like me.
Long live the king, I'm returning the crown,
On this Godless Christmas Eve.


Ring, ring the bells, it's Christmas Eve,
Straight to hell, I'll take the lead.
With a solo tune, I'll drink for two.
There's nothing left for me to lose.
Here on this Godless Christmas Eve.

Ring the bells, the party's over.
Raise a glass to what we were.
Oh tonight's all mine,
Now is the time, now's the time.

Ring, ring the bells, it's Christmas Eve,
Straight to hell, I'll take the lead.
With a solo tune, I'll drink for two.
There's nothing left for me to lose.
Here on this Godless Christmas Eve.
Here on this Godless Christmas Eve.
