Cliffs of Gallipoli

Hear them whisper, voices from the other side

Hear them callin', former foes now friends are restin' 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 would die, Gallipoli

Left their letters in the sand, such waste of life, Gallipoli

Dreams of freedom turned to dust

Hell is waitin' 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 honor 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

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
