Franz Xaver Gruber
They Sang Silent Night
[Verse 1]
He flies through the house like a hurricane plane
I'm stretched out wide, see it's all just a game
He plays his toy soldiers and aims with his gun
And waits for his father and for the war to be won
Tell me it'll be over soon, tell me it'll be over soon
Like when they sang

[Chorus]
Silent night from the battlefield lines
Peace for one night, cease fire
Let's sing again all together and send
Our love to end all wars
Peace-time forever more
Peace-time forever more

[Verse 2]
All wrapped up ridley under the tree
But I don't need these presents, just your presence with me
Please come home safely, that's all that we need
The whole world together with their families
Tell me it'll be over soon
Tell me it'll be over soon
Like when they sang

[Chorus]
Silent night from battlefield lines
Peace for one night, cease fire
Let's sing again all together and send
Our love to end all wars
Peace-time forever more
Peace-time forever more
[Bridge]
Silent night, no more, no more
Violent nights, no war, no war
Silent night, no more, no more
Violent nights, no war, no war

[Outro]
Silent night from the battlefield lines
Peace for one night, cease fire
Let's sing again all together and send
Our love to end all wars
Silent night from the battlefield lines
Peace for one night, cease fire
Let's sing again all together and send our love to end all wars
Peace-time forever more
Peace-time forever more
Peace-time, please, peace-time forever more
