  1. sabaton'un 2008 yılında çıkarttığı the art of war albümünün yedinci şarkısı. sözleri çanakkale savaşında yitip giden binlerce askeri anlatmaktadır.

    sözleri şu şekildedir:

    Hear them whisper,
    voices from the other side
    Hear them calling
    former foes now friends are resting side by side

    They will never leave our hearts or fade away
    live forever
    they were far to you to die in such a way

    how many wasted lives
    how many dreams did fade away
    broken promises
    they won't be coming home

    Oh mothers wipe your tears
    your sons will rest a million years
    found their peace at last
    as foe turned to friend
    and forgive
    And they knew they'd die

    [Chorus:]
    Gallipoli
    Left their letters in the sand
    Such waste of life
    Gallipoli
    Dreams of freedom turned to dust

    Hell is waiting where the ocean meets the sand
    Cliffs of burden
    where the soldiers rushed into a certain death

    At the shoreline
    Blood of heroes stains the land
    light a candle
    One for each of them who fought and died in vain

    There is no enemy
    There is no victory
    Only boys who lost their lives in the sand
    Young men were sacrificed
    Their names are carved in stone and kept alive
    and forever we will honour the memory of them
    And they knew they would die

    [Chorus]

    Oh mothers wipe your tears
    your sons will rest a million years
    found their peace at last
    as foe turned to friend
    and forgive
    And they knew they would die

    [Chorus]
