In a poignant reflection on a historical event, Sabaton captures the essence of humanity amidst the chaos of war. The song narrates the extraordinary moment during World War I when soldiers from opposing sides laid down their arms on Christmas Day to celebrate together in no man's land. It highlights the stark contrast between the brutality of conflict and the shared bonds of brotherhood and camaraderie that transcend national boundaries. Through vivid imagery and emotive lyrics, the band conveys themes of peace, unity, and the fleeting nature of respite in wartime. This powerful narrative serves as a reminder of our common humanity even in times of great adversity.
Christmas Truce
Lyrics
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 (madness)
Oh, I remember the sadness (sadness)
We were hiding our tears (hiding our tears)
In a foreign land where we faced our fears (faced our fears)
We were soldiers (soldiers)
Carried the war on our shoulders (shoulders)
For our nations (nations)
Is that why we bury our friends? (Bury our friends)
We were all
We were all
We were all
We were all friends (yes, we were 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
We were all
We were all
We were all
We were all friends (yes, we were 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
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
