Christmas 1915 |
| 1915 on Christmas Day |
| On the western front the guns all died away |
| And lying in the mud on bags of sand |
| We heard a German sing from no man’s land |
| He had tenor voice so pure and true |
| The words were strange but every note we knew |
| Soaring or the the living dead and dammed |
| The German sang of peace from no man’s land |
| They left their trenches and we left ours |
| Beneath tin hats smiles bloomed like wild flowers |
| With photos, cigarettes, and pots of wine |
| We bult a soldier’s truce on the front line |
| Their singer was a lad of 21 |
| We begged another song before the dawn |
| And sitting in the mud and blood and fear |
| He sang again the song all longed to hear |
| Silent night, no cannons roar |
| A king is born of peace for evermore |
| All’s calm, all’s bright |
| All brothers hand in hand |
| In 19 and 15 in no man’s land |
| And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain |
| And we killed them and they killed us again |
| At night they charged we fought them hand to hand |
| And I killed the boy that sang in no man’s land |
| Silent night no cannons roar |
| A king is born of peace for evermore |
| All’s calm, all’s bright |
| All brothers hand in hand |
| And that young soldier sings |
| And the song of peace still rings |
| Though the captains and all the kings |
| Built no man’s land |
