Magnum - On Christmas Day Lyrics
Not a tree on the skylineNor a bird in the wingWhispers frozen for all timeNo man's land will be kingLeft deserted a cold smileFrom the way they've been servedVirgin mother and her childTurn their face from the worldJust for a moment, they're only menOn Christmas dayThere'll be no killing or fightingOn Christmas dayThere'll be no thunder and lightingOn Christmas dayOn Christmas dayMany years they'll rememberAnd they'll toast absent friendsOn that cold day, DecemberThey'll be back there againAnd just for a moment, they're only menOn Christmas dayThere'll be no killing or fightingOn Christmas dayThere'll be no thunder and lightingOn Christmas dayOn Christmas dayThe wind blows cruel and hostile, on that deserted landNo shepherd sacrifice the lambWhile prayers of guilt and duty, race upwards to the skyCollide in fearsome combat cryOh, the guns and the ships and the planes of every countyFor the wins and the gains, what a price, it's much too highDon't look away and wonder, this savage poetryIs set to drag you under with arms of jealousyThe sun won't rise up shining, on fields of evergreenShot down by a crossfire with a screamThe seasons change so slowly and bring on winter's songTill no-one knows where they belongOh, the guns and the ships and the planes of every countyFor the wins and the gains, what a price, it's much too highDon't look away and wonder, this savage poetryIs set to drag you under with arms of jealousyOn Christmas dayThere'll be no killing or fightingOn Christmas dayThere'll be no thunder and lightingOn Christmas dayOn Christmas dayOn Christmas day
