Lament of the Fallen - "Tynecot"
We don't want your pity
We don't want your love
We don't want no sympathy
That is not enough
We just want you memory
So we did not die in vain,
So what we lost was worth it
So none must suffer again
We don't want no pity
We've had that enough
We want you to learn from us
So we can rest above
