We did not rise,
We did not fall,
We did not run,
To fool them all;
We played our part,
We played our role,
We played for keeps,
For all their souls;
They wept for us,
They wept for fear,
They wept and wailed
And did not hear.

We paid our due,
We paid the price,
We paid and made
Our sacrifice;
We saved their world,
We saved their hell,
We saved them all,
We broke the spell,
But noone came
And noone sought
To rescue us,
As we'd before.

We do not care,
We do not cry,
We do not want
To be revived.
We don't, because
We don't, you see,
Think life is all
It's said to be.
