about

'Ever since X-Mas Night Is A Damn Cold Night To Die! got written in October and November of 1998, Danny had been dabbling on and off with the idea of recording a real X-mas release. In 2011 finally he thought of it in time, but still had to write three more songs and with the release date already set for four weeks later he had to hurry up! This was the first song that was written for it, and musically it is based on a traditional christmas tune. The lyrics are about the fullfilling of the prophecy that got revealed in the Old Testament, and how God's plan somehow seemed to have watered down. The mid to up tempo song has been done live once, which was on December 3, 2011 -- singing along with an instrumental backing.'

lyrics

When Jesus was born Jesus was born to die
His death on the cross was the reason He was alive
Snow fell in Bethlehem during that X-mas night
But shepherds and sheep alike still slept outside

Chorus:
Jesus Christ was born, you see
To fulfil the prophecy
Christ Himself had to agree
That He would die for you and me

A choir of angels was heard across the land
I guess they knew all the details of God's Plan
That Jesus was born to die for all of man
But God and His Plan also seemed to have died since then

Chorus
