Cassandra, what did you know?
You who bring bad news wherever you go
You had the gift to se4e the future
From Apollo, so it's said
And he made no-one believe you
When you would not share his bed

Oh, Cassandra, what did you see?
As you walked the lonely road of your certainty
Gazing at the ruined city
That your warnings could not save
Oh, Cassandra, so still and so grave
Oh, Cassandra.
