1915 |
Face the west at sunset, |
Hear the bugle’s call |
The spirit of the ANZAC code |
Will live on in us all |
At the dawn of each new day |
Turn and face the east |
Hail for those who died |
Remember the deceased |
No room to raise their rifles |
Clamouring over sun stench corpses |
In dark conditions they fought hard |
With sword and fist |
Prepare to charge |
Fix bayonets |
Clear your thoughts |
No bullets |
This is hand to hand combat |
All hail… the legends of Lone Pine |
The fighting raged relentlessly |
Before the week was done |
6000 more lay dead out in the sun |
Blood spilt in the ridges |
In the gullies in the trench |
Stretcher man moved the wounded back… |
Out of the stench |
They fought hard with sword and bloodied fist |
