Sunrise

from Atticus Jones by Atticus Jones

lyrics

I never knew when my life began
I had to fight just to be a man
I never thought I would see the end of days
Drew my name had to cross the sea
Band played as we hit the quay
Washed away cos we had a world to save

Sunrise, you get to see another day
And the pain still lingers on
Sunrise, and still we’re honouring their name
And their hope for peace has not gone
Their memory still stands strong

Left the camp we were young and fast
Without a heart just an angry mass
Hit the sand we were coming down in waves
Took the hill I could hear them scream
In the name of Country, God and Queen,
Lost the brave to that cold eternal flame

Sunrise, you get see another day
And the pain still lingers on
Sunrise, and still we’re honouring their name
And their hope for peace has not gone
Their memory still stands strong

So many lives
Came to such a bitter end
So young
It’s been so long since you held a gun
But you saved my Son

Sunrise, and still we’re honouring their name
And their hope for peace has not gone
Their memory still stands strong

Now we stand by the Cenotaph
Bow our heads to our bloody past
Bugle reigns as we thank our Glorious Dead
Every year with a deep regret
We say our prayers say Lest We Forget
In the hope it’ll never happen again
