about

2016 has been a tumultuous year. Heroes have fallen and the world has gone mad. But fear not! The Heathen And The Holy are back, and more relevant than ever! In their 3rd annual Christmas offering, the message is simple; it's been the worst year ever, so let's have the “Best Christmas Yet”! The Heathen And The Holy's Fred Abbott and Tom Hobden take it to church on this joyous, gospel-infused romp and once again, the song is accompanied by a rousing, feel-good video. Try not to smile by the end of this song, we dare you!

lyrics

When bad moons rise and heroes fall,
We’re all for one but none for all,
What we’ve become should shame us all,
It’s been a hell of a year…

When ravens fly, the sky turns black,
We’ve lost some friends along the track,
We’ve had our say, we can’t go back,
It’s been a hell of a year…

Now Auld Lang Syne’s no friend of mine
But this year he comes in the nick of time!

We’ve lost our way: break down the walls!
Gave in to hate: open the doors!
It’s been a year, a year to forget,
So let’s have ourselves the Best Christmas Yet!

Hey, yea!

Hang a wreath upon your door,
Sing carols like you’ve done before,
But this time mean it that much more,
We really need it this year!

Now Auld Lang Syne, Auld Lang Syne!,
Is no friend of mine, no friend of mine!
But this year he comes, in the Saint Nick of time!

We’ve lost our way: break down the walls!
Gave in to hate: open the doors!
It’s been a year, a year to forget,
So let’s have ourselves the Best Christmas Yet!
Let’s have ourselves the Best Christmas Yet!

I’m talking ‘bout port!
I’m talking mince pies!
Let’s do it for the kids, Yea!
For the, the joy in their eyes!

Christmas pudding! And brandy!
Might come in handy,
And what do you call those things, you know,
The little prunes wrapped in bacon?
You’ve lost me!
Devils on horseback,
Yes but too gloomy,
Ok let’s scrap that.
It’s been too hellish a year…

So let’s have ourselves the Best Christmas Yet!

We’ve lost our way: break down the walls!
Gave in to hate: open the doors!
It’s been a year, a year to forget,
So let’s have ourselves the Best Christmas Yet!
We’ve lost our way: break down the walls!
But love trumps hate: open the doors!
It’s been a year, a year to forget,
So let’s have ourselves the Best Christmas Yet!
Let’s have ourselves the Best Christmas Yet!
Let’s have ourselves…
The Best Christmas,
Best Christmas… yet…

Best Christmas Yet!
Best Christmas Yet!
Let’s have ourselves,
The Best Christmas Yet!
Best Christmas Yet,
Best Christmas Yet!

Now tell me ‘bout it!
See Rudolph, runnin’ in the sky,
Chestnuts they be roastin’ on a fire,
Best Christmas Yet,
Best Christmas Yet!

Ooo Best Christmas Yet
Best Christmas Yet!
Let’s have ourselves,
The Best Christmas Yet!

Yeaaa!

Best Christmas Yet!
