lyrics

Brija:
So bogdan has now found the hajduk home
We leave him there now and to elsewhere go
Along the far lands and the mountains wide
To find what became of the stolen child

little girl lost and so far gone
little girl come sing a faraway song
through the hills and winding roads that roam so long

little girl lost all dressed in red
in a line of girls the miles you'll tread
to a far off, foreign land you'll all be led

cry mama cry
cry mama cry
no i wont
your lost girl wants you here with her tonight

little girl lost to the barracks arrives
in a row of cots you will sleep tonight
you'll lve your life here, tucked away inside

and day by day you’ll all be trained
told to what gods you will pray
a jannisary harem you will be one day

cry mama cry
cry mama cry
no i wont
come back home
in this life

halls of stone where no voice sounds
silent caves on hallowed grounds
years of lonely, echoes deep
with keepers black who don't speak

and i mama i
i cry, mama, cry
your lost girl wants you here with me tonight

the icons that the girl once knew
she lays at night and whispers to
imaginary friends she thinks are true

she sees them smile and hears them speak
they talk to her and teach her things
they sit at night beside her while she weeps

It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
