We 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
