Green Children of Woolpit Lyrics


The 12th centruy during the harvest time

In the village of Woolpit in England

Two children were discovered in a wolf pit

They had green skins and spoke an unknown language

Hosted by the squire of the county

They refused to eat anything but raw broad beans

However they adapted to the local food and lost their greenish color

Green Children of Woolpit

With skins as green as spring trees

From a twilight zone between

A fiercely hot surface and a frozen dark side

Later it was said that the children came from a land

Where the sun never shone and the light was like twilight

And where everything is green

Who they really were? No one will knows

Green Children of Woolpit

With skins as green as spring trees

From a twilight zone between

A fiercely hot surface and a frozen dark side

Green Children of Woolpit

With skins as green as spring trees

From a twilight zone between

A fiercely hot surface and a frozen dark side
