    Lyrics:
    Feigning joy and surprise at the gifts we despise
    Over mulled wine, with you
    On the 25th day of the 12th month
    The sleigh bells are in time, ringing true
    How we cling each noel to that snowflake's hope in hell
    That it won't end
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Just let them ring peace
    Well, the weather is cruel
    And the season of yule warms the heart
    But it still hurts
    You've got your career
    Spend the best part of last year apart
    And it still hurts
    So, that's why I pray, each and every Christmas day
    That it won't end
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Just let them ring peace
    (Christmas time)
    (Don't let the bells end)
    (Christmas time)
    (Don't let the bells end)
    Poised underneath the mistletoe leaf
    And you're not here
    You went away, upon boxing day
    Now, how the hell am I going to make it into the new year?
    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end (Don't let it end)
    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end
    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end (Just let them ring in peace)
    Christmas time (C'mon, kids!)
    Don't let the bells end (bells end)
    Christmas time
    Don't let the bells end

    The guys who saved 'Christmas' (as opposed to certain people who worked f***in' hard at ruining it). Best Christmas song since the early-70's, when Christmas was 'fun' (remember that ?). + - Think about this - all them Christmas hymns were about 'rejoicing', not flagellating yerself about things that YOU (frankly) have got very little chance of changing. AND this song doesn't actually need the 'double entendres' to make it simultaneously fun but relevant - I read it straight : it still creases me up (even without the video) & I'm with it 100% ... .

    How the British public were more interested in Michael Andrews and Gary Jules' depressing cover of Tears For Fears' Mad World (from a film that was over two years old) to where it became 2003's Christmas Number One instead of this, I'll never know.
    What's more astonishing is that The Darkness' Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) wasn't even the only candidate more suitable. There was Billy Mack's Christmas Is All Around (Bill Nighy's cover of The Troggs' Love Is All Around in Love Actually), Bo' Selecta!'s Proper Crimbo - hell, even The Cheeky Girls' Have A Cheeky Christmas would've been more fitting than that morbid Mad World cover! Was everyone in the country just miserable in general in 2003?
    Oh well, at least Justin and Dan Hawkins got some compensation by being a part of Band Aid 20 the following year, which _was_ that year's Christmas Number One.

      I remember the wonderful choices we had that year for number one and I supported the Darkness and still have the CD Single and album of Permission to Land as a German friend got me the German Christmas edition.
      I personally was really happy during this time and I know that my friends and family were, to the point where I look back on my late 20`s with real joy and fondness. I was 29 years old in June 2003 so by the time it was Christmas 🤶 2003 I was only 6 months away from becoming a 30 year old 😯 however it didn't bother me at all.
      I remember watching a documentary about the mad world song becoming the Christmas number one and being told everyone must have been unhappy and at a real low to put it in the number one spot. The only thing is I didn't know anyone who felt that way.
      Now in 2020 I am spoilt for choice after the awfully bad time covid has brought, shame we couldn't have had a chance to put the Darkness song in at number one for Christmas 2020,it would have been nice to have righted a wrong at such a troubled time when we really needed an amazing Christmas song to help us out of the Darkness!

      If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven?
      Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
      Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
      from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
      Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
      God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
      we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
      there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
      rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
      sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
      The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
      Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
      high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
      For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
      - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
      None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
      have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
      are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
      guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
      to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
      hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
      No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
      Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
      He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
      For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
      believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
      We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
      ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
      not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
      Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
      (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
      This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
      by reading God's Word.
      So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
      ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
      ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
      Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
      Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
      While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
      Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
      If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
      (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
      If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
      When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
      until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
      Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
      ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
      If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
      to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
      You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
      revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
      ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
      ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
      You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
      As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
      In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
      ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
      ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
      ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
      but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
      ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
      just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
      ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
      who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
      Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
      "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
      Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
      Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

      Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
      Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
      While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
      Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
      If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
      (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
      If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
      When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
      until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
      Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
      ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
      If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
      to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
      You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
      revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
      ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
      ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
      You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
      As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
      In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
      ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
      ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
      ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
      but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
      ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
      just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
      ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
      who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
      Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
      "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
      Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
      Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
