Magnum - On Christmas Day - Текст песни

Not a tree on the skyline
 Nor a bird in the wing
 Whispers frozen for all time
 No man's land will be king 

Left deserted a cold smile
 From the way they've been served
 Virgin mother and her child
 Turn their face from the world
 Just for a moment, they're only men 

On christmas day
 There'll be no killing or fighting
 On christmas day
 There'll be no thunder and lighting
 On christmas day
 On christmas day 

Many years they'll remember
 And they'll toast absent friends
 On that cold day, december
 They'll be back there again
 And just for a moment, they're only men 

On christmas day
 There'll be no killing or fighting
 On christmas day
 There'll be no thunder and lighting
 On christmas day
 On christmas day 

The wind blows cruel and hostile, on that deserted land
 No shepherd sacrifice the lamb
 While prayers of guilt and duty, race upwards to the sky
 Collide in fearsome combat cry 

The guns and the ships and the planes of every county
 For the wins and the gains, what a price, it's much too high
 Don't look away and wonder, this savage poetry
 Is set to drag you under with arms of jealousy 

The sun won't rise up shining, on fields of evergreen
 Shot down by a crossfire with a scream
 The seasons change so slowly and bring on winter's song
 Till no one knows where they belong 

The guns and the ships and the planes of every county
 For the wins and the gains, what a price, it's much too high
 Don't look away and wonder, this savage poetry
 Is set to drag you under with arms of jealousy 

On christmas day
 There'll be no killing or fighting
 On christmas day
 There'll be no thunder and lighting
 On christmas day
 On christmas day
