| [00:07.53] | There’s a grief that can’t be spoken. |
| [00:12.41] | There’s a pain goes on and on. |
| [00:17.89] | Empty chairs at empty tables |
| [00:22.53] | Now my friends are dead and gone. |
| [00:29.75] | Here they talked of revolution. |
| [00:35.04] | Here it was they lit the flame. |
| [00:40.38] | Here they sang about `tomorrow |
| [00:44.71] | And tomorrow never came. |
| [00:52.49] | From the table in the corner |
| [00:56.72] | They could see a world reborn |
| [01:01.46] | And they rose with voices ringing |
| [01:05.99] | And I can hear them now! |
| [01:10.12] | The very words that they had sung |
| [01:16.23] | Became their last communion |
| [01:22.90] | On the lonely barricade at dawn. |
| [01:30.74] | Oh my friends, my friends forgive me |
| [01:35.23] | That I live and you are gone. |
| [01:40.06] | There’s a grief that can’t be spoken. |
| [01:43.80] | There’s a pain goes on and on. |
| [01:49.54] | Phantom faces at the window. |
| [01:54.13] | Phantom shadows on the floor. |
| [01:58.26] | Empty chairs at empty tables |
| [02:01.90] | Where my friends will meet no more. |
| [02:07.62] | Oh my friends, my friends, don’t ask me |
| [02:14.76] | What your sacrifice was for |
| [02:19.25] | Empty chairs at empty tables |
| [02:23.80] | Where my friends will sing no more. |
