Transcript of The Mongol March
They took Temujin and threw him into a cave,
where he suffered away from his home.
He was corrupted and treated as a slave,
a life he wished he had never known.
Temujin was elected khagan
at the meeting of kuriltai.
He felt the need to be strong again
and wanted to see his persecutors die.
They were vicious with horses and swords;
an army that would be feared.
They wanted to conquer other lands and their lords
that would last for many years.
China was their first victim
who was terrified when they came.
And then the east didn’t affect them
while they enjoyed their reign.
The Europeans thought they were Christians
ruled by “Prester John.”
This imaginary figure offered protection
although the Mongols already moved on.
