* Creator/SamanthaMoore: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2dEaD8-xyA Glory Reaped]]" is sung by a young woman [[SweetPollyOliver who disguised herself as a boy to enlist and win glory in battle to earn her father's pride]]. However, the horror of the carnage and horror left over by the end, and in particular the sight of a dying boy crawling to her after mistaking her for his own sister, shock her into realizing that war is a horrible act of butchery and drive her to run away from home for good and swear off martial life forever.

* This is a common theme used in the Music/{{Gorillaz}} anti-violence ballads, but "Dirty Harry" from ''Music/DemonDays'' (namely the rap solo) is an especially good sample:

* "Hell Broke Luce" by Music/TomWaits doesn't sing about the horrors of war so much as it ''roars'' about it with the force and fury of a neighborhood being carpet bombed.
->''I had a good home and I left, right, left\\
That big fucking bomb made me deaf, deaf\\
A humvee mechanic put his kevlar on wrong\\
I guarantee you'll meet up with the suicide bomb!''

* ''The Planets'' by Music/GustavHolst starts with "Mars, the Bringer of War". With the hammering ''ostinato'' drums, asymmetric, unsteady [[UncommonTime 5/4 and 5/2 time]], blaring brass, and the [[LastNoteNightmare shrill, dissonant chords at the very end]], it shocked audiences with its violence and brought to mind recollections of the Great War, despite [[{{Foreshadowing}} being written before the War]].

* God Dethroned released a concept album based on the battle of Paschendale. They did not skimp on the details.
* Thrash Metal band Warbringer seems to invoke this trope more often than not, especially the song 'Forgotten Dead', below. YMMV, as they tend to toe the line between condemning and glorifying war with their explicit, visceral lyrics.
