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



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



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
