Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

EDIT - why it is lame: they weren't always that highly evolved species, protecting the mantle.
There's no guarantee about that, since they were presumably created by the Precursors. Who knows how long that race of people interacted with the then young race, and what the Precursors had in mind for them (maybe, just maybe, the role of a "forerunner").
And yes, it's possible that the Forerunners didn't always call themselves that (but again, I point you to my aforementioned thoughts), but we're talking about millions of years of Forerunner history. I can maybe see a name other than Forerunner before leaving their home world, but given their philosophy I see nothing wrong with their names.
