about

and [they] shall bring forth a [song], and thou shalt call [its] name [total yul3tid3]: for [it] shall save [its listeners] from their sins

much like the return to a childhood home rendered alien through the ineluctable march of time, total playtime return to the pastures of total yuletide a third time. despite the fear they would find them lying fallow, they chanced instead upon an area of unbelievable verdancy, inexplicably fecund.

lyrics

who's that creeping through my window? (who?)
you know total playtime got the m4 (m4)
we made it to december now this song's yours (yeah)
a gift to take to next year and draw strength from (strength)

you know it
it is what it is
it's snowing
this christmas
it's snowing
this christmas
you know it
it is what it is
oh my god
yuletide logs
get it on the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire

what is happening?
oh my god
oh my god
oh my god

be embraced, you millions
see the face, the lord is come

so this kiss for the entire world
come rally, you civilians and see the future unfurl
the noble prize achieveth
good friend of a friend to be
joy is drunk by every being
and yonder dwells he, so
be embraced, you millions
see the face, the lord is come

oh my god

fall before him, all you millions
know the creator world
joy oh joy the wheel is driving
pleasant sleep beneath the pall
high upon faith's unlit mountains
one can see her banner flies
through the breach in open'd coffins
she in angels choir doth rise, so

be embraced, you millions

it's not real
it's a wave
total yuletide
and you know you've open eyes
it's always
it's your love
it's your mind
and you've opened my eyes
and you get it
you know it's christmas
do you want something from 7/11?
i'm going there and
we could share and
you know I'll serve you
because you saved me now

and I have seen the only way
I know the only way is you
on christmas day I saw your face anew
I saw your face anew
we;re bathed in light
the silent abounds
the town is empty save for us because
it's christmas

it's christmas
(ad nauseam)
