Theres a grief that cant be spoken
Theres a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked about revolution
Here is was they lit the flame
here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
From the table in the corner
They could a world reborn
And the rose with voices ringing
And i can hear them now
The very words they had sung
Became their last communion
At a lonely barricade
At dawn
All my friends my friends forgive me
That i live and you are gone
Theres a grief that cant be spoken
Theres a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more
Oh my friends my friends dont ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more
Theres a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked about revolution
Here is was they lit the flame
here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
From the table in the corner
They could a world reborn
And the rose with voices ringing
And i can hear them now
The very words they had sung
Became their last communion
At a lonely barricade
At dawn
All my friends my friends forgive me
That i live and you are gone
Theres a grief that cant be spoken
Theres a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more
Oh my friends my friends dont ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more
