We Honour The Fallen
In the shadows of time our great nation was born on a battlefield so far away
Courage, sacrifice and bravery were forged on that first ANAZC Day From the sands and shores of Turkey, stained crimson with ANAZAC Blood To the trenches of France and the fields of hell where they died in the ice and the mud They fought for our freedom, they answered the call, they paid the ultimate cost They gave up their lives without a thought for themselves, so many young lives lost The heart was torn out of a nation yet still they answered that call They continued to charge and continued to fight as one by one they would fall On April 25th, we remember, all those brave, who fought, served and died We remember the sacrifice, the pain, the courage, the tears and the pride We remember all of the fallen and those that never returned The heroes, the forgotten, the unknown, the lessons must be learned For now we play football on ANZAC Day, a sea of black, white and red But this day is not about football, it is a time to remember our dead So when the G falls in to that eerie silence, just take a minute or two And remember all of those brave who have protected both me and you It is thanks to all those who defend our land, our skies and protect our sea Thats why we stand here at the football and live our lives being so free It is why our country is so great with values we hold true It is why our flag flies freely under skies that are so blue An old digger once told me these haunting words his body all tired and sore Anyone who says football is like a battle well they âaintâ never been to war. See war is full of pain and hurt and death and blood and strife In football we complain about losing four points, where in war you lose your life We know Football is not a war but those traits from heroes past Can be put display on ANZAC Day as our footballers stand fast Mateship, sacrifice, the will to win, bravery and pride Stick by each other through thick and thin and stand there side by side Enjoy the game, I know I will, but take time to pay respect As the last post calls them one more time with a daunting eerie affect Remember why we are here and how we are forever in their debt We will always remember.... LEST WE FORGET |
