[verse 1]
Dear mother how I will write this line
When I know I'm counting time
I'm tired and I'm scared
I'm waiting and death's my friend

[Chorus]
To say in God we trust not for this
Oh the death and glory boys not for this
Dulce dulce decorum

[verse 2]
Dear beloved try to write to you
Through the senseless deaths of a million troops
I'm waiting my time is near
As my tears wash away my years

[Chorus]
To say in God we trust not for this
Oh the death and glory boys not for this
Dulce dulce decorum

[verse 3]
When I walk when I see
The haunting flares where my friends bleed
And I fear the face of an enemy
Of a man or boy who is just like me
[bridge]
Now you're not there
All the tears we bled
Cut through like winters rain
Can't you feel the pain

[Chorus]
And if I could ever sleep again
I know till the end of time I hear
Their screams of pain
Dulce dulce decorum
Dulce dulce decorum
Dulce

Dear mother I'll write to you
