it's empty now, no friendly face and nothing lives within
i look around and i find no trace to tell me what has been
so far i've come to find there's no one here, no life & fear
i came for nothing, they have gone
and nobody's home
i came to learn perhaps to teach but i can tell somehow
the world that i was sent to reach has got no future now
across the galaxy to spread the word and no one heard
i came for nothing i'm alone and nobody's home
a requiem was never sung
no elegy was read
no monument was carved in stone in memory of the dead
for those who made this place do not remain they feel no pain
a stranger fate was never known
