Elivagar - Children\'s Crusade lyrics

rate me

e were on sacred mission

Together we were wandering for god

Like pilgrims we are marching to heaven

And come home as conquerors

I was born in a village as a peasant's son

Nine Years on the fields for a poor life

Then the prophet called to free the holy land

So I left home for a peaceful crusade

Thousands of children were marching to Jerusalem

We were on a sacred mission

Together we were wandering for god

Like pilgrims we are marching to heaven

And come home as conquerors

With the vision of the prophet on our side

Our journey was hard and dangerous

Many died before we arrived in Italia

Where we awaited the prophets wonder

The wonder stayed away and we stood in front of the sea

We died by coldness, disease and hunger

For a vision of a nine year olf child

The rest of us, who tried to sail to the sacred land

Was sold as slaves to the huts of the enemy

The crusade ended before it really began

After eighteen years I came back home from slavery

Wounded and starved as a result of hard work

Tortured by my masters I began to realize

We were wandering through the open hell

Damned for all times.
