Cassandra

You've got snakes in your red hair
They won't let you go
Taking the blame for the fall of the world
The cross that you bare
Leaves you out in the cold
Putting the blame on the girl

Always so beautiful
While so many gone before
They came to silence you
Forevermore
But I'll believe in you, oh, oh
Cassandra, Cassandra
You know what the future holds
(But no one believes you)

Cursed to be prophet
They think it's a lie you told
(But why would you need to?)

Cassandra, Cassandra
If I could just sit with you
We two could conspire and
Make them listen
You only tell the truth

You're fated to madness
It's out of your hands
Destined to say what no one wants to know
I'm knocking you up
Like the hourglass sands
Why can't they just let you go?

Always so beautiful
While so many gone before
They came to silence you
Forevermore
But I'll believe in you, oh, oh

Cassandra, Cassandra
You know what the future holds
(But no one believes you)

Cursed to be prophet
They think it's a lie you told
(But why would you need to?)

Cassandra, Cassandra
If I could just sit with you
We two could conspire and we'd
Make them listen
You only tell the truth
