Children's Crusade歌词

[00:04.67](The Dream of the Blue Turtles)
[00:09.48]
[00:18.67]Young men, soldiers, nineteen fourteen
[00:24.92]Marching through countries they'd never seen
[00:30.98]Virgins with rifles, a game of charades
[00:37.23]All for a children's crusade
[00:46.42]Pawns in the game are not victims of chance
[00:52.68]Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France
[00:59.05]Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
[01:05.11]All of those young lives betrayed
[01:11.29]
[01:14.36]The children of England would never be slaves
[01:20.11]They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
[01:26.42]The flower of England face down in the mud
[01:32.42]And stained in the blood of a whole generation
[01:39.30]
[01:40.93]Corpulent generals safe behind lines
[01:47.11]History's lessons drowned in red wine
[01:53.11]Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
[01:59.49]All of those young lives betrayed
[02:05.67]All for a children's crusade
[02:11.74]
[03:46.57]The children of England would never be slaves
[03:52.71]They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves
[03:58.96]The flower of England face down in the mud
[04:05.02]And stained in the blood of a whole generation
[04:12.63]
[04:13.16]Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty four
[04:19.50]Fixing in doorways, opium slaves
[04:25.65]Poppies for young men, such bitter trade
[04:32.02]All of those young lives betrayed
[04:41.15]All for a children's crusade
[04:49.98]
