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 would 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 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
