We haven't existed for ages
Dead so long
But when we were fresh
In our graves, no markers, no coffins
Just bodies shoved into pits
No one cared, or they couldn't do anything
Either way, though we're gone now
Perhaps our memory could be a
Memento, we could be martyrs
But probably not
For we were nobodies
Killed for no reason
Other than wrong time, wrong place
Not our fault
But still our demise
Nothing can change that
'Less our brethren remember
'Less we become one
'Less all the lost join together
So that there are less gone
And our people, what's ours
Can stay that way
Doesn't have to be destroyed
Damaged in any way
No, we can be ourselves
We don't have to be unlucky
But they should remember us
Our brethren
But also our destroyers
For let our memory drive our war
Let us, the Gone be at rest
