Lyrics 1914 - A Rotterdam November

1914

Wait, wait, listen to that sound, the cannonballs have all fallen down.
The
Snow, it falls through the night, and blankets the frozen ground
And just for one moment, just for one night, you can rest, you can rest and
Not fear the sky
Pre- Chorus:
Picture after picture of pain and of strife.
I’ve seen my friends go before my
Own eyes.
You, your eyes are blue, and you, you’ve lost friends too.
You your caught in the crossfire of Europe’s war
One day, one day only… the fighting stops, defenses drop, brothers talk
Hold on, stop and pray, there’s no movement inside the trench.
The enemy
doesn’t look so mean when Christmas fires are lit.
Just for one moment,
just for one night, we can be, we can be, side by side
Instrumental break:
Pre-chorus 2:
Day after day of fighting and dying.
My eyes are tired of seeing, of crying
Tonight, the air is cold, but tonight our hearts are warm.
Tonight,
we’re caught in the crossfire of Europe’s war
Bridge:
Let the bombings come, we can take it all, hell or high water, even if the sky
Falls.
But, I know we’re sunk with all we can take, when I look around and I
See this heartbreak.
Cuz' we weren’t meant to inflict such wounds, doesn’t
Matter who we are or what we have to prove.
Strike me, I bleed, but won’t
Strike back.
Lie to me, Jesus has died for that.
There is nothing you can do to
counter love
For one day, one day only… a child was born, one man died, He came back alive
