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
