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 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 would 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 where sacrificed
The names are carved in stone in candlelight
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 they 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 least
As foe turn 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 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.
