A well-known place abroad
A legendary place of war
A place that has come to be
The trenches of Gallipoli
A place of bloodied sand
A place of bloodied hands
A place known to me
As the trenches of Gallipoli
Young men who lost their lives
Young Australians who lost their wives
They came in by the sea
At the trenches of Gallipoli
strong men who fought
strong men who were orderly
at the trenches of Gallipoli
thousand of men
We celebrate them yearly
The trenches of Gallipoli
