[Verse 1]
Here I sit, a vampire at my piano
The flames burn glaringly higher
And the eyes that stare through the darkness
Though they have no form
There's no need for alarm
[Chorus]
So burn
So burn, burn the flames
Higher and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
[Verse 2]
Here I sit, a skeleton at my organ
The candles in my candelabra burning hellishly, hellish hell
And the laughter unending echoes through the haunted house
A little Christmas spirit, ghostly haunting deadly spirit
Every creature is stirring
Even the mouse
[Chorus]
So burn
So burn, burn the flames
Higher, higher, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
[Chorus]
So burn, burn the flames
Higher, higher, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
[Verse 3]
Here I sit myself at my instruments
Here they sit at their instruments
And the music fills and fills
Terrifies, horrifies, forever scares
The children of the night
What music we make
[Chorus]
So burn
So burn, burn the flames
Higher and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
