Narrative:

Ground control cleared us to hold short of runway. Read back hold short instructions. Taxied onto departure end of runway thinking hold short instructions were for crossing runway. Tower gave immediate instructions to taxi off of runway. We taxied immediately off runway. Crew was fatigued from 6 day international trip. Captain was distracted by new checklist terminology. Relief pilot was calling ramp. Taxiway and runway overrun markings seemed slightly confusing.
