When we met on the ground of no man's land
The officers and all men we did shake hands
Then we shared our last piece of chocolate and cigarette
And our precious whisky and schnapps
Unofficially we seized the hostility
Then we showed our friendly side and humanity

Stille Nacht    heilige Nacht
Alles schläft    einsam wacht
Nur das trautehochheilige Paar
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh

Over those years and 100 yrs on
That story was not to forget
That humanitarian act transcended
Over those futile war in retrospect
We wish we wish  this peaceful moment
To last for ever and ever so we said

Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
Round yon Virgin  Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

All we soldiers couldn't avoid an order
From the commanders and overzealous leaders
When destructive capabilities were on the par
The tragic losses went deeper and deeper
With our faith rest on God's power
Let the angles sing for everyone to hear
Under those bright peaceful stars

Silent night  holy night
Stille Nacht   heilige Nacht
All is calm  all is bright.
Alles schläft   einsam wacht
Round yon Virgin  Mother and Child
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar
Holy infant so tender and mild
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar
Sleep in heavenly peace
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh
Sleep in heavenly peace
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh

Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lord oh Lord
Lets live and love and be loved that we wish
This peaceful moment to last
Forever and ever so we prayed
