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       To say in God we trust not for this   Oh the death and glory boys not for this       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       To say in God we trust not for this   Oh the death and glory boys not for this       Where I walk where I see   The haunting flares where my friends bleed   I see the face of the enemy   Of a man or boy who is just like me   Now you're not there   All the tears we bled   Cut through like winters rain   Can't you feel the pain      And if I could ever sleep again   I know till the end of time I'd hear   Their screams of pain   Dulce dulce decorum   Dulce dulce decorum   Dulce   Dear mother I'll write to you
