Throw away the crystal
Throw away the plates
And throw away the presents!!!
Throw away the trees
Throw away the decorations
Throw away the music
And throw away the bells!!!
What's all this without you... when...
The sign of silence remains neat
And the cold of the night comforts thee?
When there's no hand to hold or heartbeat to feel?
What's all this without you... when...
Family is stranded between oceans
Continent bulging, closing in
And the world is covered in smoke, sunless?
What's all this without you... when...
Yesterday seems near and I can still hear you
But can't hold you, under the mistletoe?
What's all this without you, when my present is you?
What's all this when the winds of hate
Blurs the road I've worked hard to walk on
And cold shoulders are all you can give
Even as I plead on my knees and silence you give?
What's all this when my hands are stained
Covered in mud of sins and my faith is far?
What's all this when I have nothing to give or show,
When the winter freezes the door shot
And the summer burns the hope out of me?
Take away the Christmas and hold the void out of me
For it's been too long that I've turned off the lights.
"Throw the away Christmas and give me your hand"
