Celtic Thunder - Christmas 1915 lyrics
rate me1915 on Christmas Day<br />
On the western front the guns all died away<br />
And lying in the mud on bags of sand<br />
We heard a German sing from no man's land<br />
He had tenor voice so pure and true<br />
The words were strange but every note we knew<br />
Soaring or the the living dead and dammed<br />
The German sang of peace from no man's land<br />
<br />
They left their trenches and we left ours<br />
Beneath tin hats smiles bloomed like wild flowers<br />
With photos, cigarettes, and pots of wine<br />
We bult a soldier's truce on the front line<br />
Their singer was a lad of 21<br />
We begged another song before the dawn<br />
And sitting in the mud and blood and fear<br />
He sang again the song all longed to hear<br />
<br />
Silent night, no cannons roar<br />
A king is born of peace for evermore<br />
All's calm, all's bright<br />
All brothers hand in hand<br />
In 19 and 15 in no man's land<br />
<br />
And in the morning all guns boomed in the rain<br />
And we killed them and they killed us again<br />
At night they charged we fought them hand to hand<br />
And I killed the boy that sang in no man's land<br />
<br />
Silent night no cannons roar<br />
A king is born of peace for evermore<br />
All's calm, all's bright<br />
All brothers hand in hand<br />
And that young soldier sings<br />
And the song of peace still rings<br />
Though the captains and all the kings<br />
Built no man's land<br/>
Sleep in heavenly peace</
