Author's note: Just a little parody poem I came up with for Dethklok and Christmas. Enjoy!

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the stage
Twelve Klokateers stood
Waiting to engage

On the man with the reindeer
And the gifts and the sleigh.
Twelve guns loaded
They'd waste him away.

Dethklok was playing a setlist that night
Riling the fans for this one gory sight.
All waiting for the moment Santa would die
Him and his reindeer falling from the sky.

The fans were wild
Pumping their fists
As the wind above them
Hissed and hissed.

They were playing "Murmaider"
For one-million and two
As Santa and his reindeer
Came into view.

He was fat with a hat
And a suit full of red
On a sleigh with 8 reindeer.
Enough is now said.

With his sack and his reindeer
And a plan in his head
He did not consider
That he would be dead.

As he rode through the air
With sack in hands, he said
"I will give them coal."
And dropped it on their heads.

The people were pissed.
They yelled and they cussed.
They started a riot.
It was one violent fuss.

"Come Dasher, come Dancer, come Prancer, come Vixen,
Come Comet, come Cupid, come Donner, come Blitzen,
For all of those people who cheer for such souls
The only thing that they deserve should be coal."

And that's when they saw him.
The Klokateers too.
They cocked their guns
For what would ensue.

"FIRE!" they shouted.
And all twelve of them fired.
Striking him and three reindeer
Who then quickly tired.

Blood began spilling
As the targets were hit.
Then everyone slowed down.
And the route went to shit.

The rhythmic jingle-jangle
Soon faded away.
Then down went Santa
And his reindeer and sleigh.

They landed with a crash
With aggression, with a thud
Now Santa and his reindeer
Were covered in blood.

The fans cheered wildly.
They applauded and yelled.
They were thrilled that Dethklok
Took Santa to hell.

And the band played on
Beginning "Thunderhorse"
As maggots and fleas
Ate corpse after corpse.
And to this day
No one shows remorse.
