Left one son
A childhood taken
In his youth
The castle he fled
A circus
Took him in
Becoming an acrobat
The subjects were sadden
Chaos Broke
The king's . . .

A brave unicorn enters stabbing the vampire's heart
Smoke cleared and rats scattered as red roses grew along the unicorn's . . .

They proclaimed that a new king had come
A baby lying in a barn
Happiness beamed in their eyes

Frozen for many decades
An ice covered paradise
In this frozen land
Stands a golden yellow horse
He is all . . .

A small lamb offered his life
Bitten in his heart
Leaving a bloody red scar

Through the mountains
Brown leaves are falling fast
Evidence of the time we call

Among the hilly land
The deer are jumping in front of
My path

Sounding like machine gun fire

Alone in his youth
Christmas just didn't fit him
So he moved to Maine
Where his darkness blended well
And he found a special task
Candy on antlers . . .
