Dissipated tears from the soldier
He felt his world break, into a smoulder
Disgusted jeers come from battalions
He sought out refuge from new companions
Overground cheers seek the answers
The Heralds waiting, insert the dancers
But all around the ballet sheltered
The soldier listened as dancers faltered
These children bore no malice
Please God serve me the chalice
This ash around me thickens
Oh why does no one listen
"Dulce et decorum est
My childlike dream is marching west
Dulce et decorum est
For my soul I`ve failed the test
Dulce et decorum est
Come our Johnny join the rest"
Heroic realms come from the martyr
He felt his world cry into a banter
But as the danger fell behind him
He felt young soldiers marching past him
These visions bear no meaning
I must stand back and leave them
Please never say you`re inside
I need your world to confide
"Dulce et decorum est
My childlike dream is marching west
Dulce et decorum est
For my soul I`ve failed the test
Dulce et decorum est
Come our Johnny join the rest"
