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 to you 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 turned 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 turned 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
Their names are carved in stone and kept alive
And forever we will honour the memory of them…
And they knew they would die.
Gallipoli..
Left their letters in the sand
Such waste of life
Gallipoli..
Dreams of freedom turned 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 turned to friend
And forgive
And they knew they would die
Gallipoli...
Left their letters in the sand..
Such waste of life
Gallipoli
Dreams of freedom turned to dust !!
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 to you 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 turned 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 turned 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
Their names are carved in stone and kept alive
And forever we will honour the memory of them…
And they knew they would die.
Gallipoli..
Left their letters in the sand
Such waste of life
Gallipoli..
Dreams of freedom turned 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 turned to friend
And forgive
And they knew they would die
Gallipoli...
Left their letters in the sand..
Such waste of life
Gallipoli
Dreams of freedom turned to dust !!
