There is no sun here, the sun's a thousand miles away,
There is no light here, it's cold and damp and grey,
There is no glory here amongst these marble stones,
Only young men's names above young men's bones.
We've searched for you so long and come so far,
But now at last, dear brother, there you are.
Lost soul, Ngarrindjeri man,
Lost soul, far from the Dreamtime land,
Lost soul, lying here alone,
Ngarrindjeri warrior, we've come to take your spirit home.
To where the black swan glides and the pelican soars,
Above the Coorong's blue waters and golden shores,
Where the Dreamtime sings from every leaf and stone.
Home, Coorong, home.
Home, Coorong, home.
Why did you come here, Ngarrindjeri man,
To fight and die here in this cold and alien land?
You owed them nothing, yet your life you freely gave,
The mark of a warrior, not a servant or a slave.
And as you fell in this war to end all wars,
Did they see that your blood was just as red as theirs?
Lost soul, Ngarrindjeri man,
Lost soul, far from the Dreamtime land,
Lost soul, lying here alone,
Ngarrindjeri warrior, we've come to take your spirit home.
To where the black swan glides and the pelican soars,
Above the Coorong's blue waters and golden shores,
Where the Dreamtime sings from every leaf and stone.
Home, Coorong, home.
Home, Coorong, home.
Home, Coorong,
Home, Coorong,
Home, Coorong,
Home, Coorong.
