All Together Now
Harmony Beyond Battle: Interactive's All Together Now
Lyrics
Remember boy, that your forefather's died
Remembrance of the sacrifice made by ancestors in wars
Lost in a million for a country's pride
Many lives were lost for the honor of the country
But never mentioned the trenches of Belgium
The harsh reality of the Belgian trenches was overlooked or not acknowledged
When they stopped fighting and they were one
A moment of unity amidst the fighting when they ceased hostilities
A spirit stronger than war was
There was a prevailing force or sentiment stronger than the conflicts of war
At work that night
This force was actively present during that particular night
December 1914 cold, clear and bright
Describes the specific time of December 1914, setting the scene
Country borders were right out of sight
National boundaries were disregarded or irrelevant in that moment
They joined together and decided not to fight
They collectively chose peace and unity instead of conflict
All together now all together now
Emphasizes unity and togetherness
All together now
Reiterates the call for unity and collaboration
In No man's land (togеther)
Unity mentioned again in the context of No man's land (a war zone)
All together now (all togеther)
Stresses unity while in the midst of conflict
All together now (all together)
Continued emphasis on unity amidst adversity
All together now (together, together)
Repetition reinforces the idea of togetherness
In No man's land (together, together)
Unity highlighted within the dangerous No man's land
The same old story again
A recurring theme of history repeating itself, possibly regarding conflicts and unity
All those tears shed in
Reference to the futility of tears shed in vain due to lack of progress or learning from mistakes
Vain, nothing learned, nothing gained
No lessons were taken from past mistakes, resulting in no advancements
Only hope remains all together now
Despite the lack of progress, hope remains in collective unity
All together now all together now
Reiteration of the importance of unity
In No man's land
Again, emphasizing unity within the dangerous No man's land
Together, together, together
Further stressing togetherness
All together now all together now
Reinforcing the call for unity
All together now
Continued emphasis on unity despite the adversity of war
In No man's land (together)
Again, mentioning unity in the context of No man's land
All together now (all together)
Reiteration of the importance of unity and togetherness
All together now (all together)
Emphasizing unity in the face of adversity
All together now (together, together)
Repetition to stress the importance of togetherness
In No man's land (together)
Final mention of unity in the context of No man's land
