Their skin was green
Their dresses so unfamiliar
And unknown was the language they spoke
Are they sick? Are they not?
Are they coming from the underworlds?
Two children all alone: alone and lost
My poor brother died so
It's up to me to tell this tale, this weird tale
We arrived, we are there
We're the children of Woolpit!
Where the Sun never shone,
In a sky only of twilights
We came from afar,
From the land of Saint Martin
Chimes of bells in a dark cave led us to your world
The pit of these wolves has eaten our souls
While the only thing we ate was just raw broad beans
I miss the green of before, now the colours of the rainbows
Fill of emptiness the deep inside of me.
So goodbye my older place,
Now I'm trapped and damned to stay
While people say
They're right, they are there
The green children of Woolpit!
Where the Sun never shone,
In a sky only of twilights
They came from afar,
From the land of Saint Martin
Chimes of bells in a dark cave led us to your world
They're right, they are there
The green children of Woolpit!
Where the Sun never shone,
In a sky only of twilights
They came from afar,
From the land of Saint Martin
Chimes of bells in a dark cave led us to your world
We arrived, we are there
We're the children of Woolpit
Where the Sun never shone,
In a sky only of twilights
We came from afar,
From the land of Saint Martin.
Chimes of bells in a dark cave took us to your world,
Chimes of bells of a dark tale brought us to your words
Chimes of bells of dark words led us to your tales
