12. December - Christmas 1915

One of my favorite songs... Its so beautiful!

1915 on Christmas Day  

On the western front the guns all died away  

And laying 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 ore 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 the smiles bloomed like wild flowers  

With photos cigarettes and pots of wine  

We built 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 feed  

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
Sleep in heavenly peace
