Mine Is The Glory (Wretched Release)

Fractured nightmares
Flash into the mind
Distal fragments
Piece together (the) night
Soldiers fall down burning
Floundering in fire
Stumble onwards blindly
Poison rains from the sky

Bent double
Like beggars
Under sacks
Knock-kneed
And gasping
We cursed
Through sludge

Till on the haunting flares
We turned our backs
Towards our distant rest
Began to trudge

Yearning
Grasping
The warm embrace
Of death

Attaining fleeting glory
As lead caresses flesh
My tears have stained the soil
My corpse shall lay at rest

A lie in broken breath "dulce et decorum est"

Every step takes us further from ourselves
Lame, blind, wounded
We drag towards the end
Some dwell in the haze
Between life and death
Embrace sweet delirium
To ease their final breath

Wreathed in fire
I saw him flailing
White eyes rolling
Cracked flesh, failing

Where are the tolling bells
To mourn our passing?
The choirs of shrieking shells
Drown out the ragged gasping

Herded forwards
In bovine deference
Dubious glory
Obscene irreverence

A field of shattered dreams
The final resting place
Flung on the body cart
Dead eyes, ashen face

A lie in broken breath
"Dulce et decorum est"
