A tale of courage and peace, Of a truce between enemies in the midst of war. An event that's been forgotten, not remembered any more. The official histories keep it hidden from view, And Orwellian historians have nothing to say too. On the Western Front in December 1914, The British and German soldiers decided to take a stand. No matter what their differences or who was right or wrong, They put aside their weapons and chose to get along. For one day they shared stories and sang carols together, Playing football in no man's land with each other as brothers. This brief moment of kindness has been lost through time, But its message is still clear - we can choose peace over crime.
