Lyrics

[00:00.89]
[00:07.49] There's a grief that can't be spoken.
[00:12.74] There's a pain goes on and on.
[00:17.87] Empty chairs at empty tables.
[00:22.15] Now my friends are dead and gone.
[00:28.52] Here they talked of revolution.
[00:33.81] Here it was they lit the flame.
[00:38.60] Here they sang about tomorrow.
[00:42.77] And tomorrow never came.
[00:50.05] From the table in the corner,
[00:55.03] they could see a world reborn.
[00:59.92] And they rose with voices ringing.
[01:04.32] And I can hear them now!
[01:08.68] The very words that they had sung.
[01:15.03] Became their last communion!
[01:21.70] On this lonely barricade at dawn.
[01:29.95] Oh my friends, my friends forgive me.
[01:34.75] That I live and you are gone.
[01:39.68] There's a grief that can't be spoken.
[01:43.89] There's a pain goes on and on.
[01:49.95] Phantom faces at the windows.
[01:54.91] Phantom shadows on the floor.
[01:59.23] Empty chairs at empty tables.
[02:03.19] Where my friends will meet no more.
[02:09.09] Oh my friends, friends don't ask me
[02:15.00] what your sacrifice was for.
[02:19.77] Empty chairs at empty tables.
[02:23.39] Where my friends will sing no more.
[02:33.09]
