A ceasefire (or truce) is a temporary stoppage of a war in which each side agrees with the other to suspend aggressive actions. Ceasefires may be declared as part of a formal treaty, but they have also been called as part of an informal understanding between opposing forces. An armistice is a formal agreement to end fighting.
During World War I, on December 24, 1914, there was an unofficial ceasefire as France, the United Kingdom, and Germany observed Christmas. No treaty was signed, and the war resumed after a few days.
In 29 November 1952, the newly U.S. president-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower, went to Korea to learn what might end the Korean War. With the United Nations' acceptance of India's proposed Korean War armistice, the KPA, the PVA, and the UN Command ceased fire with the battle line approximately at the 38th parallel. Upon agreeing to the ceasefire agreement, the belligerents established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which has since been patrolled by the KPA and ROKA, US, and Joint UN Commands. The Korean Demilitarized Zone runs northeast of the 38th parallel; to the south, it travels west. The old Korean capital city of Kaesong, site of the armistice negotiations, originally lay in the pre-war ROK, but now is in the DPRK. The United Nations Command, supported by the United States, the North Korean Korean People's Army, and the Chinese People's Volunteers, signed the Armistice Agreement on 27 July 1953 to end the fighting. The Armistice also called upon the governments of South Korea, North Korea, China and the United States to participate in continued peace talks. For his part, ROK President Rhee attacked the peace proceedings. The war is considered to have ended at this point, even though there was no peace treaty.
Good luck and lost love's knife
cut a path leading through my life
I weave through the gusts of change
as a kite might through the sky.
I feel down and degraded
like I felt when you and me began to tire
And we stopped long ago
But I thought it was just ceasefire.
I can leave the past behind like any normal man can do
But what I find most of the time
is that I have been left behind you.
I can feel time pushing me forward
so what does it matter what direction I'm pointed in?
No one else used to sing my sad chorus
Now I feel that they too have joined in.
Bad luck and lucky breaks
cut paths right through our lives
We follow the blind man's bluff
like lorrys follow white lines in the night.
And by our nature we are kept alone
No matter haw long your nails
you can't cut out of the womb.
And if I can't crash off-course
You must be marooned
and we will not be able to go back to
A husband and wife and a whore
Bang, bang
A family of five maybe four
Bang, bang
Everyone sing till you're sore
Bang, bang
There's no such thing as civil war
Bang, bang
It's a license to kill the old and the ill
The skilled and unskilled
But if you desire, we could pull down the wire
If you'd only ceasefire
The uncle, the aunt and the niece
Bang, bang
The long and the short and obese
Bang, bang
The vicar, the friar and the priest
Bang, bang
All pray for the fire to cease
Bang, bang
It's a license to kill the old and the ill
The skilled and unskilled
But if you desire, we could pull down the wire
If you'd only ceasefire
Johnny won't be marching home
No such person, no such zone
But if you desire we could pull down the wire

Oh...baby I'm crying, forever more
Oh...baby and now when you're gone
My head feels heavy and empty
It circles around in the sky
Between new corners it will fade away
It's just a place filled with sorrow
So when I told you the truth
you might be lonesome forever more
Can't touch these feelings
of empty shadows
The keeper of rainbow has told me
that time is not far away
It makes me stronger it's in my eyes
Can't touch these feelings
of empty shadows
This place is calling; your hell is burning
It'burning around my head
Ceasefire
Our love can't be strong enough
I can't call trence to your master
he must been wretched from the start
that kind of love can't be strong enough
Can't touch these feelings
They have no meaning
It's in my veins again
No matter how I try
It's burning around my head
days and nights like a fire
creeping up a slope
and caught in the wire
I wanted this to be just like you'd said
everything is different now we're here
open your eyes man,
you'll see fire
delight in your mystery
laugh it off, laugh it off, laugh it off
Painful, the fight for man's desire
the eyes of the world streaming tears
laugh it off, laugh it off
and take me by the hand
lay me down
down innocent
I wanted you to know how bad this feels
living on your own with endless fear
open your eyes man,
you'll see fire
delight in your mystery
laugh it off, laugh it off, laugh it off
Painful, the fight for man's desire
the eyes of the world streaming tears
laugh it off, laugh it off, laugh it off
oh....oh....
