    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 you 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
    untill 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 face
    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
    untill the final hour

    i watched her ship leaving harbour 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
    untill the final hour
