Our glorious dead

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,

From 'Dulce Et Decorum Est', by Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
'The old lie' as Owen called it. Read the poem

It was also a good song by The Skids (on Days in Europa):

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

Not quite Wilfred Owen but a better tune
