Cassandra lyrics

Down in the street they’re all singing and shouting,

staying alive though the city is dead,

hiding their shame behind hollow laughter,

while you are crying alone on your bed.

Pity, Cassandra, that no one believed you,

but then again you were lost from the start.

Now we must suffer and sell our secrets,

bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts.

Sorry, Cassandra, I misunderstood;

now the last day is dawning.

Some of us wanted but none of us would

listen to words of warning.

But on the darkest of nights,

nobody knew how to fight,

and we were caught in our sleep.

Sorry, Cassandra, I didn’t believe

you really had the power.

I only saw it as dreams you would weave,

until the final hour.

So in the morning your ship will be sailing.

Now that your father and sister are gone,

there is no reason for you to linger.

You’re grieving deeply but still moving on.

You know the future is casting a shadow,

no one else sees it, but you know your fate.

Packing your bags, being slow and thorough,

knowing, though you’re late, that ship is sure to wait.

Sorry, Cassandra, I misunderstood;

now the last day is dawning.

Some of us wanted but none of us would

listen to words of warning.

But on the darkest of nights,

nobody knew how to fight,

and we were caught in our sleep.

Sorry, Cassandra, I didn’t believe

you really had the power.

I only saw it as dreams you would weave,

until the final hour.

I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise,

sails almost slack in the cool morning rain.

She stood on deck, just a tiny figure,

rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain.

Sorry, Cassandra, I misunderstood;

now the last day is dawning.

Some of us wanted but none of us would

listen to words of warning.

But on the darkest of nights,

nobody knew how to fight,

and we were caught in our sleep.

Sorry, Cassandra, I didn’t believe

you really had the power.

I only saw it as dreams you would weave,

until the final hour.

(I’m sorry, Cassandra.)

(I’m sorry, Cassandra.)
