To prove I can also do family friendly, I hereby bring you The Match Girl's Carol, inspired by a tale of Hans Christian Andersen.

(Death by Mirrors' Entry)
The Match Girl's Carol

Hear my voice
Shout against the noise
Do you need some light?

Sellin' batches
Of my sulfur matches
This stormy Christmas night

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
I've no place to run nor to hide

Hear me shout
Get the message out
Do you need some food?

Light a match
From your precious batch
Then you smell a feast so good

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
I've no place to run nor to hide

Fingers bare
In the icy air
Do you need some heat?

Light a match
When the doors all latch
For a shelter from the sleet

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
I've no place to run nor to hide

Feet all cold
Still no matches sold
Do you need some love?

Strike them all
Light them on the wall
To guide angels from above

Oh I'm just a little match girl
Whirling about outside
And when the winds and the ice twirl
My flickering flame's hope and delight
