Celtic Thunder Christmas 1915 Lyrics

Christmas 1915 Lyrics

1915 on Christmas Day

On western front the guns all died away

And
laying in the mud on bags of sand

We heard the German sing from no man's
land

He 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 bottles 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 sll guns boomed in the
rain

And we killed them and they killed us again

At night they
charged we fought them hand in 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
