Lyrics December 1942 - Christy Moore
It's
freezing
cold
the
snow
comes
down
there's
ice
on
the
barbed
wire
Everything
is
ready
right
on
time
another
train
is
due
Now
it's
coming
down
the
line
it's
heading
for
the
fire
Just
another
December
day
in
1942
The
train
is
packed
with
dispossessed
people
from
the
ghetto
Treated
worse
than
animals
in
some
cruel
filthy
zoo
Terrorised
and
beaten
starved
into
submission
So,
it
was
on
that
December
day
in
1942
The
train
came
to
a
stop
to
unload
its
human
cargo
Met
be
demons
and
by
devils
and
their
savage
dogs
Curses
blows
and
whips
rain
down
on
those
exhausted
people
But
their
deadly
nightmare
had
only
just
begun
And
they
cried
out
to
the
Lord
God
Creator
of
the
Universe
In
our
despair
we
call
on
you
But
all
their
tears
and
all
their
prayers
they
went
unanswered
On
that
God-forsaken
December
Day
in
1942
Women
men
and
children
in
that
freezing
winter
twilight
Families
torn
in
two
by
thugs
with
sticks
and
guns
Made
to
undress
driven
and
naked
to
the
slaughter
And
then
into
the
chamber
they
were
forced
to
run
When
the
doors
were
locked
and
sealed
no
mercy
and
no
pity
The
word
came
down
the
line
and
the
orders
were
carried
through
Just
another
number
to
add
to
their
statistics
On
another
God-forsaken
day
in
1942
And
they
cried
out
to
the
Lord
God
Creator
of
the
Universe
In
our
despair
we
call
on
you
But
all
their
tears
and
all
their
prayers
they
went
unanswered
On
that
God-forsaken
December
Day
in
1942
