[00:10.42]1915 on Christmas Day
[00:16.37]On the western front the guns all died away
[00:22.71]And lying in the mud on bags of sand
[00:28.56]We heard a German sing from no man's land
[00:35.34]He had tenor voice so pure and true
[00:41.39]The words were strange but every note we knew
[00:48.09]Soaring o'er the living dead and damned
[00:54.02]A German sang of peace from no man's land
[01:02.97]They left their trenches and we left ours
[01:09.98]Beneath tin hats the smiles bloomed like wild flowers
[01:16.21]With photos cigarettes and pots of wine
[01:22.45]We built a soldier's truce on the front line
[01:29.00]Their singer was a lad of 21
[01:35.30]We begged another song before the dawn
[01:41.41]And sitting in the blood and mud and fear
[01:47.72]He sang again the song all longed to hear
[01:54.49]Silent night no cannons roar
[02:00.59]A King is born of peace for evermore
[02:06.57]All's calm all's bright
[02:11.48]All brothers hand in hand
[02:16.28]In 19 and 15 in no man's land
[02:24.99]And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain
[02:31.61]And we killed them and they killed us again
[02:38.31]At night they charged we fought them hand to hand
[02:44.38]And I killed the boy who's sang in no man's land
[02:51.36]Silent night no cannons roar
[02:57.41]A King is born of peace for evermore
[03:03.45]All's calm all's bright
[03:08.28]All brothers hand in hand
[03:13.28]And that young soldier sings
[03:16.15]And the song of peace still rings
[03:19.24]Though the captains and all the kings
[03:22.61]Built no man's land
[03:30.74]Sleep in heavenly peace
