Songteksten

[Verse 1]
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
[Verse 2]
Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
[Verse 3]
From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn
[Verse 4]
Oh my friends, my friends, forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
[Verse 5]
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends will meet no more
[Verse 6]
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for?
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends will sing no more
