The Old Lie
They lied to us
with preacher smiles
at Sunday school
They told us
our world was created
in six days
We stood as one
as our world was created
in seven days
We stood as one
as light sprang from darkness
and earth fell from heaven
And after seven days
we stood as one
and marched into hell
Title borrowed from "Dulce et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen.
