Unfortunate Child

As soon as she realises what happened,
She starts running
In the grip of panic,
Fighting her tears in vain

For the first time in her life
Only twelve years old
She met, in this way, a knife
Remembering it, she trembles cold

Stopping to take a breath
She hears a cry for help
Walking towards it, followed by death
She finds a wounded man
Seeing who came to him, he dies, there and then

Hearing a wolf-like cry, makes her run again
Not knowing where to go, she decides "east"
Her little feet can't outrun the men
That hunt her down like a beast

Refrein……………..

After two days and nights, she decides
To hide for the terrible rites
Certainly she has to bear
If they take her to their lair

The blood still drips from her skirt
The moment she's found
Never knew how much it hurt
To be bitten by a hound

Refrein……………

Facing the judge, guilty as charged
Unable to supress the tears
Unable to remember the years
Of being young and innocent
Being shure, soon it'll all end

Refrein…………………

For the LAST time in her life
Still twelve years old
She met, in another way, a knife
Gliding down, hard and cold
