Christmas Truce

Silence Oh, I remember the silence On a cold winter day After many months on the battlefield And we were used to the violence Then all the cannons went silent And the snow fell Voices sang to me from no man’s land We are all, we are all, we are all, we are all friends And today we’re all brothers Tonight we’re all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we’re all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches, we sing O holy night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches, a Christmas on the front far from home Madness Oh I remember the sadness We were hiding our tears In a foreign land where we faced our fears We were soldiers Carried the war on our shoulders For our nations Is that why we bury our friends? We were all, we were all, we were all, we were all friends A Christmas on the frontline, we walk among our friends, we don’t think about tomorrow, the battle will commence When we celebrated Christmas, we thought about our friends, those who never made it home, when the battle had commenced
