Empty Chairs At Empty Tables

MARIUS 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 Here they talk of Revolution Here it was they lit the flame Here they sang about tomorrow And tomorrow never came From the table in the corner They could see a world reborn And they rose with voices ringing I can hear them now! The very words that they had sung Became there last communion On the lonely Barricade at dawn! Oh my friends my friends forgive me That I live and you are gone! There's a greif that can't be spoken There's 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 don't ask me What your sacrifice was for! Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will sing no more!
