Lyrics
October 1942 to October 1943 over 60 thousand alied prisoners of war built it
Over 12 thousand prisoners died
Steel on steel the sun beats down
Jungle whispers a ghostly sound
Each step we take a borrowed day
Echoes on the rails they cry
For the men who fought and the men who died
In the shadow of the mountains high
Shadows stretch where courage bled
Hands that toiled for scraps of bread
Dreams turned to dust in the heat of dread
Never forget never let it fade
The price they paid the lives they gave
Echoes on the rails they cry
For the men who fought and the men who died
In the shadow of the mountains high
The river ran red but time won’t erase
The scars of the past the human disgrace
We stand here now in a quiet place
