Dawn At Gallipoli

Описание: This is not a metal song, it's a soft rock ballad dedicated to our ANZAC heroes and their families. As an Australian myself, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for our surviving and fallen soldiers. ❤️

LEST WE FORGET. 🥀

LYRICS:

[Intro]
Quiet road
Pre-dawn chill
Poppies pinned
The world stands still

[Verse 1]
Candles lined
On the RSL steps
Kids in hoodies
Trying their best
Names on stone
Weathered and worn
We hold our breath
As the bugle’s born

[Bridge]
We remember in the breaking of the day
Every whisper
Every brother far away
In the silence
All the stories find a way
We remember
We remember

[Chorus]
Lest we forget
Every tear
Every letter never sent
From the sand and the smoke
To the lives that they broke
Lest we forget
Every promise that echoes in our chest
We are standing here yet
Lest we forget

[Verse 2]
Steam from cups
Of too-strong tea
Granddad’s medals
On his knee
He doesn’t talk
Until they play that tune
Then he’s nineteen
Under a foreign moon

[Bridge]
We remember in the breaking of the day
Every whisper
Every brother far away
In the silence
All the stories find a way
We remember
We remember

[Chorus]
Lest we forget
Every tear
Every letter never sent
From the sand and the smoke
To the lives that they broke
Lest we forget
Every promise that echoes in our chest
We are standing here yet
Lest we forget

[Verse 3]
Cliffs rose up
Like a closing fist
Boots on gravel
Lost in mist
Wrong bay landed
Still they ran
Heartbeat pounding
Against the plan

[Bridge]
We remember in the breaking of the day
Every whisper
Every brother far away
In the silence
All the stories find a way
We remember
We remember

[Chorus]
Lest we forget
Every tear
Every letter never sent
From the sand and the smoke
To the lives that they broke
Lest we forget
Every promise that echoes in our chest
We are standing here yet
Lest we forget

[Verse 4]
Letters home
Smudged in rain
Jokes in margins
Hiding pain
“Tell my mum
I’m doing fine”
Between the bullets
He finds the time

[Bridge]
We remember in the breaking of the day
Every whisper
Every brother far away
In the silence
All the stories find a way
We remember
We remember

[Chorus]
Lest we forget
Every tear
Every letter never sent
From the sand and the smoke
To the lives that they broke
Lest we forget
Every promise that echoes in our chest
We are standing here yet
Lest we forget

[Verse 5]
Years roll on
And the faces change
Schoolyard sneakers
At the service range
Young hands lift
That old worn wreath
Past and present
Sharing breath

[Bridge]
We remember in the breaking of the day
Every whisper
Every brother far away
In the silence
All the stories find a way
We remember
We remember

[Chorus]
Lest we forget
Every tear
Every letter never sent
From the sand and the smoke
To the lives that they broke
Lest we forget
Every promise that echoes in our chest
We are standing here yet
Lest we forget

[Outro]
First bird calls
As the trumpets fade
Sun climbs slow
On the oaths we made
Side by side
Every age
Every name
We remember
We remember all the same
