Cliffs of Gallipoli
Hear them whisper,voices from the other sideHear them callingformer foes now friends are resting side by side
They will never leave our hearts or fade awaylive foreverthey were far to you to die in such a way
how many wasted liveshow many dreams did fade awaybroken promisesthey won't be coming home
Oh mothers wipe your tearsyour sons will rest a million yearsfound their peace at lastas foe turned to friendand forgiveAnd they knew they'd die
[Chorus:]GallipoliLeft their letters in the sandSuch waste of lifeGallipoliDreams of freedom turned to dust
Hell is waiting where the ocean meets the sandCliffs of burdenwhere the soldiers rushed into a certain death
At the shorelineBlood of heroes stains the landlight a candleOne for each of them who fought and died in vain
There is no enemyThere is no victoryOnly boys who lost their lives in the sandYoung men were sacrificedTheir names are carved in stone and kept aliveand forever we will honour the memory of themAnd they knew they would die
[Chorus]
Oh mothers wipe your tearsyour sons will rest a million yearsfound their peace at lastas foe turned to friendand forgiveAnd they knew they would die
[Chorus]
