When I was a kid they taught me their rules

We did anything they want, we did it like fools

Their book was holy, we learned it by heart

The holy fight, we had to take part

Exploited and cheated my life was a mess

Religion and war, 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 ... We are

Warchild, Warchild

We cried and bleeded for it

Warchild, Warchild

We fought and died for ... We are

Warchild, Warchild

We cried and bleeded for it

Wake up now
