Dead of night By moonlight Heard a sound What could it be? Tinkling bells Casting spells All look up What do you see? Wake up Wake up For Christmas day is here Wake up And share the love and laughter through the year Flying high He passes by There’s magic in the air On his sleigh For Christmas Day With love enough to share Wake up Wake up For Christmas day is here Wake up And share the love and laughter through the year Krampus comes to Sound of drums And dances in the street If you’re bad he’ll Cackle glad And drag you by your feet Wake up Wake up For Christmas day is here Wake up And share the love and laughter through the year We have plenty Four and twenty Blackbirds in a pie But some are homeless, Cold, alone, Let’s help the poorer guy Wake up Wake up For Christmas day is here Wake up And share the love and laughter through the year All your love All your hope All your dreams Make them come true Share the love Share the hope Share your dreams Carry them through Those who fall Those who cry Those who need Give them your love You will find If you try Love returns Ev-e-ry time Krampus preys On those who stray And those who cannot see Guard your wealth And lose your health To hate and jealousy Rich and greedy Poor and needy This should never be Sister, brother Help each other Love and light to see Wake up Wake up For Christmas day is here Wake up And share the love and laughter through the year Krampus preys On those who stray And those who cannot see Guard your wealth And lose your health To hate and jealousy Rich and greedy Poor and needy This should never be Sister, brother Help each other Love and light to see Wake up Wake up For Christmas day is here Wake up And share the love and laughter through the year Rich and greedy Poor and needy This should never be Sister, brother Help each other Love and light to see Wake up Wake up For Christmas day is here Wake up And share the love and laughter through the year

Johnny got a toy for Christmas He got it from his uncle Bryan, and it’s driving me mad. It’s all flashing lights and shiny things Wheels and a pair of wings But that’s not all There’s a big red button on the top that he won’t stop pressing. And every time he presses it goes… Johnny got a toy! Johnny got a toy for Christmas And if I get a hold of Bryan I’m going to shove it right up his Chimney. It’s alright for him, he’s away this year And he doesn’t have to listen to this. But when he has his own kids They’ll get a gizmo with a button of red- A cacophony to waken the dead! Johnny got a toy! Come all ye faithful (Hide the batteries!) We’ll be triumphant (Bryan’s gonna die!) Revenge is a dish best served LOUD! Johnny got a toy!

Startled little starling on your own You flew the nest too early now you're lost far from home Stared into this daydream from afar Now you Gaze into the nothing with a stranger in the dark Speak to me in whispers one more time You feel the lamps are burning, are they embers in your mind? Navigate the mystery of who you are you stopped the wheel from turning but it splintered in your heart Light the night Burn the grey evening song today. (You were) Shadowborn hide the light from your eyes only see what you will Shadowborn and the night will disguise and the time will lead you astray Watcher in the distance; do you pray Do you gaze at candles burning; watch the night turn into day? And can you hear the songbird in the cage? Can you lift away the velvet; let the dawn creep in again? What you felt was in you all along, can you lift yourself from falling? can you hear my love song? Standing in the future, will we soon, say that "that's the night forgotten?" "That's the night that we once knew" Open wide your arms, let the breeze blow through your hair Hold it in your heart, let it save you, save you Reaching out tonight well I thought I heard you there Coming back in time, let it take you, take you Take me by the hand can you feel the current flow I can feel your heart, hear it beating, heating Secrets in your mind yet I thought I let them go Holding it inside; healing, healing!

When night follows day, I hear the calling, calling, to go This twilight alone, it sees me falling, falling, and slow. Shine it aloud, moonlight in the day, shine it aloud, shadows in the neverwhere The sun in the night, the storms are raging, raging Soldiers on the mountainside appear, they come for me A smile across my lips and waiting for it all to end And ever closer there's a line, I must not cross A smile across my lips and waiting for soldiers' release And ever closer to the edge, I bear this cross They must be coming for me They fade away Come back to me, come back to me, come back to me! Shine it aloud, and the light that casts a shadow will be gone Shine it aloud, and the light that casts the shadow will be gone Fly on open wings and lie in open arms and sleep tonight Fly on open wings and lie in open arms and sleep tonight Fly on open wings and lie in open arms and sleep tonight Violet light be comes the horizon so distant to me now Listen to me now Scarlet light is covering Every one Never seen before Listen to me now Blackest light is seen by the Sick and the Weakest of us all Listen to me now Hope flies on an open wing Shine it loud Fly on open wings and lie in open arms and sleep tonight Fly on open wings and lie in open arms and sleep tonight Sun and the moon collide The dusk and dawn the night the morn. Sun and the moon collide When hope dissolves the light be gone. See, facing you, facing me, all you see, of me Nothing that you look for See inside my eyes Look in my soul. So much poverty, clearly Riches on my face Sun and the moon collide The dusk and dawn the night the morn. Sun and the moon collide When hope dissolves the light be gone. I can’t go on. It’s all so gone. The sun, the moon, the light, the dark, the dawn, the night, the twilight, is gone. All so gone. All so gone. But maybe… Maybe…

I feel the years have passed me by, I don't know how, and I don't know why, There were so many things to be, Still I'm just me. And the dreams I had, did they fade away? Did I save them all for a rainy day? I feel my dreams have passed me by. I feel the moment's come and gone, I missed my chance, guess I musta-took too long, I feel there's nothing left to do, But count my days. And the dreams I had, did they fade away? Did I save them all for a rainy day that never came? I thought I'd be something more, I could have been so much more, And the dreams I had, did they fade away? Did I save them all for a rainy day? And I feel my life's passed me by, Did all my dreams fade and die? Wake up, smell the morning air, Summer's gone but the autumn weather's fair, There's still time, Stop worrying about your yesterdays, Now it's a Brand New Day. Hurry up, there's so much more to see, Live every moment while you can, Be your dreams, Don't dream of what you could have been, Now's your chance — take it. It's a Brand New Day.

about

With Christmas fast approaching, a bunch of us have teamed up to concoct a festive song entitled ‘Wake Up’ which was released as part of an EP on December 1st.

Wake Up features Colin Tench (Corvus Stone), Gareth Cole (Mike Kershaw, Tom Slatter), Ben Bell (Patchwork Cacophony, Gandalf’s Fist), Stefan Hepe (Gandalf’s Fist), Peter Falconer, Pat Sanders and Manu Michael (Drifting Sun).

The song was mixed and mastered by Jon Huxtable at Smallfish Studios, Scotland.

Also included in the EP are 7 songs previously recorded by the musicians who contributed to the making of ‘Wake Up’.

All the profits from the sales will go to TIERHILFE SAUERLAND E. V.

Barbara Hellekes, CEO of the animal welfare organisation said "We're over the moon about this! Winter is coming, and it's really hard to get the poor souls through the winter, especially in Hungary and Greece, where we support and help privately organised shelters in keeping the streets free of stray dogs, trying to find them a forever home"

We, Shits 'n Giggles, take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken up their valuable time to bring their contribution to this EP to help make this release possible, and we hope that the charity organization we have chosen will benefit greatly from the generosity of the people who donate to their cause, cheers everyone and Merry Christmas to all!
