Sabaton - Cliffs of Gallipoli lyrics

rate me

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 where 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 turn 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 turn 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 name are carved in stone and kept alive

And forever we will honour the memory of them

And they knew the would die

Gallipoli

left their letters in the sand

such waste of life

Gallipoli

dreams of freedom turn to dust...
