Forgotten Heroes of a Promised Land

. Dust on the road. Echoes of their past.

Stories left untold. Memories fading fast. March through the dust of foreign sands.

Australian boots on hostile lands. Gave their all for the flag they bore.

Came home to silence. Nothing more. They fought the fight.

For freedom's call. But the lights went dim. Did we forget them all?

No parades, no helping hand. Just empty promise in this promised land.

Fighting for a country fast asleep. People unaware. Ungrateful deep. Battles rage on

behind closed eyes. Nightmares scream where the daylight dies. Forgotten warriors, battles never cease.
