The Skids - Dulce Et Decorum Est (pro Patria Mori) lyrics

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"
