Don’t shed a tear for me, I stand alone This path of destiny is all my own Once in the hands of fate, there is no choice An echo on the wind, you’ll hear my voice
Some choose to fall behind, some choose to lead Some choose a golden path, laden with greed But it’s the noble heart that makes you strong And in that part I’m with you all along
The old village lantern is calling me onwards Leading wherever I go The old village lantern, a light in the dark Bringing me closer to home
So when you think of me, do so with pride Honour and bravery rode by my side And in your memory, I will remain I will forever be, within the flame
Now at the journey’s end, we’ve travelled far And all we have to show are battle scars But in the love we share, we will transcend And in that love, our journey never ends
Don’t shed a tear for me, I stand alone This path of destiny is all my own Once in the hands of fate, there is no choice An echo on the wind, you’ll hear my voice
