Children’s Crusade - Sting (史汀)[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Sumner[00:00:01]
Young men soldiers nineteen fourteen[00:00:18]
Marching through countries they'd never seen[00:00:25]
Virgins with rifles a game of charades[00:00:31]
All for a Children's Crusade[00:00:37]
Pawns in the game are not victims of chance[00:00:46]
Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France[00:00:52]
Poppies for young men death's bitter trade[00:00:59]
All of those young lives betrayed[00:01:05]
The children of England would never be slaves[00:01:14]
They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves[00:01:20]
The flower of England face down in the mud[00:01:26]
And stained in the blood of a whole generation[00:01:32]
Corpulent generals safe behind lines[00:01:41]
History's lessons drowned in red wine[00:01:47]
Poppies for young men death's bitter trade[00:01:53]
All of those young lives betrayed[00:01:59]
All for a Children's Crusade[00:02:05]
The children of England would never be slaves[00:03:47]
They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves[00:03:52]
The flower of England face down in the mud[00:03:59]
And stained in the blood of a whole generation[00:04:05]
Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty four[00:04:13]
Fixing in doorways o***m slaves[00:04:19]
Poppies for young men such bitter trade[00:04:25]
All of those young lives betrayed[00:04:32]
All for a Children's Crusade[00:04:41]
