Work Text:
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain that goes on and on
Empty chairs and empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of a brand new world
Here it was they played the game
Here they talked of tomorrow
And tomorrow never came
The table in the corner
They could see our world reborn
And the rose with voices ringing
And I can hear them now
The very words that they had said
Became their last communion
On this lonely asteroid
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain that goes on and on
Phantom faces in the windows
Phantom shadows on the floor
Empty chairs and 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
