Plastic Christmas
By Jacob Brandon (JDBrand Music)
[Verse 1 – Gritty, heavy riff underneath]
They deck the halls in neon lies,
With gift wrap dreams and empty skies.
They praise the sales, ignore the cross,
Abandoned the King, when truth got lost.
They sing the songs but miss the point,
Buy joy in bulk, break what they anoint.
But a manger bathed in Heaven’s light —
Is what split the darkest night.
[Chorus – Gang vocals, fists in the air]
This ain’t about tinsel, ain’t about snow!
It’s the blood of the Savior that made us whole!
They can keep their lights and greed and spin —
But real Christmas starts within!
He came to die, to pay the cost —
Not to fuel your Santa gloss!
So turn it loud, let truth ignite —
This holy fire on Christmas night!
[Verse 2 – More aggressive, tighter rhythm]
They’ve got elves and aisles full of gold,
But no room for the story to be told.
No star, no straw, no trembling fear —
Just noise that drowns what we should hear.
But I’ve seen glory in the dirt,
A Savior born to bear the hurt.
Not wrapped in bows, but thorns instead —
The gift that gave life to the dead.
[Bridge – Spoken over distorted, atmospheric breakdown]
He left the throne... for the tree.
Born to die — for you and me.
Don’t sell the season short and sweet…
This is war. This is mercy. This is majesty.
[Final Chorus – Bigger, louder, double-time ending]
This ain’t about tinsel, ain’t about snow!
It’s the blood of the Savior that made us whole!
He crushed the dark, He split the veil —
The Son of God would not fail!
So trade your sugar-coated lie —
For the truth that never dies!
This is Christmas: raw and real!
Forgiveness born, the scars will heal!
[Outro – Repeating hook, fading into gritty silence]
