Dies iræ, dies illa Solvet sæclum in favilla, Teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando Judex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus! Tuba mirum spargens sonum, Per sepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum. Mors stupebit et natura, Cum resurget creatura, Judicanti responsura. Liber scriptus proferetur, In quo totum continetur, Unde mundus judicetur. Judex ergo cum sedebit, Quidquid latet apparebit: Caedes deinde coepit. ---

Wait… And then the murders began. How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they’re forever banned And then the murders began. ---

Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot… But the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did NOT! Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming, “I MUST find some way to stop Christmas from coming!” “I know!”, he soon smiled, "I’ll murder them all! Every Who down in Whoville, the tall AND the small! "That brat Cindy Lou will be first to start bleeding, She’ll get limp and pale in spite of her pleading. "I’ll chop her and feed her to my little dog Max, He’s been a good boy. He deserves some Who snacks. “The rest of the Whos will die next, one by one, They’ll never see Christmas! What wonderful fun!” ---
