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

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.
