Hear them whisper voices from the other side |
|
Hear them calling |
|
Former foes, now friends, are resting side by side |
|
They will never leave our hearts or fade away |
|
Live forever |
|
They were far too young to die in such a way |
|
How many wasted lives? How many dreams did fade away? |
|
Broken promises they won't be coming home |
|
Oh mothers wipe your tears your sons will rest a million years |
|
Found their peace at last as foe turn to friend and forgive |
|
And they knew they'd die |
|
Gallipoli |
|
Left their letters in the sand |
|
Such waste of life |
|
Gallipoli |
|
Dreams of freedom turn to dust |
|
Hell is waiting |
|
Where the ocean meets the sand |
|
Cliffs of burden |
|
Where the soldiers rushed into a certain death |
|
At the shoreline blood of heroes stains the land |
|
Light a candle |
|
One for each of them who fought and died in vain |
|
There is no enemy there is no victory |
|
Only boys who lost their lives in the sand |
|
Young men were sacrificed the names are carved in stone and kept alive |
|
And forever we will honour the memory of them |
|
And they knew they'd die |
|
Gallipoli |
|
Left their letters in the sand |
|
Such waste of life |
|
Gallipoli |
|
Dreams of freedom turn to dust |
|
How many wasted lives? How many dreams did fade away? |
|
Broken promises they won't be coming home |
|
Oh mothers wipe your tears your sons will rest a million years |
|
Found their peace at last as foe turn to friend and forgive |
|
And they knew they'd die |
|
Gallipoli |
|
Left their letters in the sand |
|
Such waste of life |
|
Gallipoli |
|
Dreams of freedom turn to dust |

There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested. |
