Please come on in and sit you down to partake of the feast
I count you all the friends I have, the ones I like the least
I'll shelter you from darkness as it clouds over the earth
For the world is in a turmoil and life has lost its worth
Black will be your Christmas and sad tidings to you all
I'll put my gifts under the tree, wait for the ash to fall
I'll give you guns and bombs and all my military plans
I'll give you my machines and a list of my demands
The lord of misrule, lord at the feast of fools
Not mischievous but cruel, lord of misrule
I'll bring you to your knees before festivities begin
I may be a lord, but please don't let me in
I'll be the last one laughing at the ending of the world
I'll point my finger at you, say you got what you deserved
Take pleasure in your misery, I'll revel in your shame
A little festive schadenfreude and wicked party games
(Schadenfreude and wicked party games)
So take your chances, dear, I'll let you covet every day
Betray your friends and break their hearts, come on and make a play
They'd only do the same to you so don't regret a thing
Bring your deceits to the table and let the feast begin
The lord of misrule, lord at the feast of fools
Not mischievous but cruel, lord of misrule
I'll bring you to your knees before festivities begin
I may be a lord, but please don't let me in
I'm the lord of misrule, lord at the feast of fools
Not mischievous but cruel, lord of misrule
I'll bring you to your knees before festivities begin
I may be a lord, but please don't let me in
So face the sun until the shadow falls behind you
'Cause I'm the lord and I will always find you
So face the sun until the shadow falls behind you
'Cause I'm the lord and I will always find you
