To fight for a land fit for heroes
God on my side, and a gun in my hand
Chasing my days down to zero"--Motorhead, 1916

- ddejohn 2y agoThere is a lot of really phenomenal metal based around WWI for anybody else interested. Bands like 1914 (sings exclusively about WWI, from Ukraine) and Warbringer (a couple of songs specifically about WWI) come to mind.
- pomian 2y agoGreat fairly modern metal about war : Sabaton. Try 1914 the song
- CobrastanJorji 2y agoI was the first fruits of the battle of Missionary Ridge. When I felt the bullet enter my heart I wished I had staid at home and gone to jail For stealing the hogs of Curl Trenary, Instead of running away and joining the army. Rather a thousand times the country jail Than to lie under this marble figure with wings, And this granite pedestal Bearing the words, ”Pro Patria.” What do they mean, anyway? - Edgar Lee Masters, from Spoon River Anthology.
- macintux 2y agoI haven’t thought about Spoon River Anthology in much too long. Thanks, I used to enjoy drawing connections, need to go take another look.
