Cliffs Of Gallipoli
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 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 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 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
