Anzacs
Gone on the winds of gripping ice
those clapping boots on stone
March bravely in the hands of night
to a place far far from home
Where night awakes with darting lights
and screeching bullets fly
A place where breaths are stolen
from our heroes where they lie
In fields of fading hopes and dreams
sink deep beneath the mud
As cries of pain and desperate pleas
get swallowed neath their blood
Of long forgotten Anzacs
only winds dare to foretell
Of the nameless soldiers falling
with the cries of how they fell.
