When I was a kid they taught me the rules

We did anything they want, we did it like fools

Holy book, we learned it by heart

Holy flight, we did take part

Exploited, my life was a mess

Religion and war and we were possessed

Inspired and brave, out to the field

So blind that we couldn't see, our destiny was sealed

We tried to fight, fell one by one

Disillusion, our belief had gone

Exploding shell tore off my legs

Senses faded by the grenade cracks

Warchild, warchild

We fought and died for it

Warchild, warchild

We cried and bleeded for it

Warchild, warchild

We fought and died for it

Warchild, warchild

We cried and bleeded for it

Warchild, warchild

We fought and died for it

Warchild, warchild

We cried and bleeded for it

Wake up now
