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 i fear i came for nothing they have gone and nobody s home no one 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 no one 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
