Some of us wanted but none of us would
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
I'm sorry Cassandra
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
Until the final hour
But on the darkest of nights
And we were caught in our sleep
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Listen to words of warning
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
Listen to words of warning
While you are crying alone on your bed
But on the darkest of nights
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Listen to words of warning
I'm sorry Cassandra
But then again you were lost from the start
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
Until the final hour
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
And we were caught in our sleep
You really had the power
You really had the power
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
And we were caught in our sleep
No one else sees it but you know your fate
Now the last day is dawning
Nobody knew how to fight
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Now that your father and sister are gone
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
I'm sorry Cassandra
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
There is no reason for you to linger
Nobody knew how to fight
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
You know the future is casting a shadow
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
Now the last day is dawning
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Now the last day is dawning
