Children's Crusade 歌詞

Children's Crusade - Sting

Written by:Gordon Sumner

Young men soldiers nineteen fourteen

 

Marching through countries they'd never seen

 

Virgins with rifles a game of charades

 

All for a Children's Crusade

 

Pawns in the game are not victims of chance

 

Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France

 

Poppies for young men death's bitter trade

 

All of those young lives betrayed

 

The children of England would never be slaves

 

They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves

 

The flower of England face down in the mud

 

And stained in the blood of a whole generation

 

Corpulent generals safe behind lines

 

History's lessons drowned in red wine

 

Poppies for young men death's bitter trade

 

All of those young lives betrayed

 

All for a Children's Crusade

 

The children of England would never be slaves

 

They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves

 

The flower of England face down in the mud

 

And stained in the blood of a whole generation

 

Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty four

 

Fixing in doorways o***m slaves

 

Poppies for young men such bitter trade

 

All of those young lives betrayed

 

 

All for a Children's Crusade
