Remember boy that your forefather's died Lost in millions for a country's pride But they never mention the trenches of Belgium When they stopped fighting and they were one A spirit stronger than war was at work that night December 1914 cold, clear and bright Countries' borders were right out of sight When they joined together and decided not to fight All together now All together now All together now, in no man's land All together now All together now All together now, in no man's land The same old story again All those tears shed in vain Nothing learnt and nothing gained Only hope remains All together now All together now All together now In no man's land All together now All together now All together now In no man's land The boys had their say they said no Stop the slaughter let's go home, let's go, let's go
