The Christmas Truce of 1914 | Official Lyric Video

Описание: This cinematic retelling of the true moment during World War I when enemy soldiers laid down their weapons on Christmas Eve. Through battlefield imagery, candlelit carols, and the haunting sound of “Silent Night” drifting across no-man’s-land, this official lyric video captures the holiness and heartbreak of that sacred pause in human violence. The song contrasts the innocence of young soldiers with the tragedy of war, pointing boldly to Christ as the true Prince of Peace and asking the timeless question of why mankind still chooses to kill when heaven itself once hushed the war machine.

[Intro]
When angels hushed the war machine

[Verse 1]
We marched to war through winter's breath
Led by old men who'd planned our death
They spoke of glory flag and crown
While our boys bled red on frozen ground

[Verse 2]
The frost lay thick on Flanders' field
While guns were hushed in trenches we kneeled
Yet German lines had Christmas trees
How could the enemy call Christ their King?

[Chorus]
Ohhh When angels hushed the war machine
Peace on earth can it be
When men and angels sing

[Verse 3]
Gentle Voices rang out from the German lines
Soft and low Silent Night they sighed
We answered with carols across no-man's land
It felt like angels were singing at God's command

[Verse 4]
Through mist and barb-wire a lantern shone
A German stepped out unarmed alone
I held my breath I dare not fire
It was Christmas peace was all I desired

[Chorus]
Ohhh When angels hushed the war machine
Peace on earth can it be
When men and angels sing
Silent Night Holy night

[Verse 5]
Then slowly men from both sides emerged
Sworn enemies once now hearts converged
We laughed we talked we could be friends
The folly of this war was clear to all men

[Verse 6]
We showed our photos of wives and sons
We passed around our rations showed our guns
A ball we kicked through shell-torn clay
We were innocent boys again that Christmas Day

[Chorus]
Ohhh When angels hushed the war machine
Peace on earth can it be
When men and angels sing
Lord let it be

[Refrain]
Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright

[Bride]
We spoke of home and Christmas hymns
Of Bethlehem and cherished kin
How strange the minds of mortal men
To love today then kill again.
If we worship Christ the Prince of Peace
Why kill for land
When will this cease?

[Chorus 2]
The Christmas Truce of nine-teen four-teen
When angels hushed the war machine
Peace on earth can it be
When men and angels sing

[Outro]
When men and angels sing
