elxi - dulce et decorum est lyrics

“they said it’s sweet
pro patria mori
but the ground is cold
and the truth, gory.”

mud+stained boots, another step in line
but whose war is this? not yours, not mine
they pull the strings, we’re puppets on stage
fighting for a future locked in a cage
the medals? rust. the letters? burned
the promise of glory? just lessons unlearned
we bled for a flag, but they sold us the lie
dulce et decorum est—a reason to die?

“rise up! hear the truth untold!
the cost of honor weighs heavy and cold!”

glory calls, but at what price?
the grave’s too shallow for sweet lies!
dulce et decorum—what’s the truth?
another name lost, a stolen youth!

raise the flag, let the echoes ring
but it’s not for freedom—it’s for the king!

a rifle rusts where a soldier fell
the sky split open, screaming like h+ll
the battlefield whispers, “they knew all along,”
that the poet’s words would soon be wrong
your name’s engraved, but not your cries
they bury your story under a web of lies
they said it was sweet, but sweet for who?
for the ones who’ll profit when they bury you
what’s left of the hero they sent to die?
just echoes of footsteps, a hollowed sky
the gun’s gone silent, the ground turns red
dulce et decorum est—they said

they said… they said!

dulce et decorum est, the lie!
another youth dies while they rise high!
glory fades, what’s left to gain?
just shattered bones and a world of pain!

raise the flag, let the echoes ring
but it’s not for freedom—it’s for the king!

pro patria mori, they said
pro patria mori… they said

sweet lies… cold graves
is it worth what we gave?
