Welcome to a world of pain This is the day of your conversion, mortification Dragged away from home on blood red nights Slave to a brutal system, forevermore, forevermore You are an orphan now, adopted by the beast of war The end of all your childhood dreams has come No more will you meet a smilling face Now peace has left your sleep forever There are no arms to hold you Yet there are no hands to wipe your tears Constrained and forced to k** These cruelties will haunt you, a life in combat Your fear will make you bleed, your inner combat A life without a future, you will forget your wishes And nothing to embrace, but the rifle in your hands, forevermore You are an orphan now, adopted by the beast of war The end of all your childhood dreams has come: A life of combat, forevermore No more will you meet a smilling face Now peace has left your sleep forever There are no arms to hold you Yet there are no hands to wipe your tears away There are no arms to hold you Peace has left your sleep "There are about 300.000 child soldiers worldwide, most of them are forced to fight in armed conflicts."
