作词 : Theatre of Tragedy

Cassandra - Theatre of Tragedy

He gave to her yet tenfold claim'd in return
She hath no life but the one he for her wrought
Proffer'd to her his wauking heart  she turn'd it down,
Riposted with a tell-tale lore of lies and scorn.

Prophetess or fond?
Tho' her parle of truth
"I ken to-morrow - refell me if ye can!"“
Yet the kiss and breath - Apollo's bane“
Seer of the future, not of twain,“
"Sicker!", quoth Cassandra.“

Still, is she lief and quaint in his eyne, a sight divine?
A mistress fuell'd by his prest haughtiness
If he did grant, wherefore then did he not foresee,
Belike egal as it to him might be

Her naysay raught his heart,

Her daffing was the grave of all hope

She belied her own words

He thought her life, save moreo'er scourge

She held him august, yet wee;

He left her ne'er without his heart
