Peter Tägtgren - Cliffs Of Gallipoli lyrics

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 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 d**h 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
