Текст (слова) песни: Theatre Of Tragedy - Cassandra (Cheap wine edit)

Cassandra

He gave to her, yet tenfold claimd in return -
She hath no life but the one he for her wrought;
Profferd to her his wauking heart - she turnd 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 - Apollos 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 fuelld by his prest haughtiness -
If he did grant, wherefore then did he not foresee,
Belike egal as it to him might be?!

Prophetess or fond?,
Tho her parle of truth:
«I ken to-morrow - refell me if ye can!»,
Yet the kiss and breath - Apollos bane -
Seer of the future, not of twain,
«Sicker!», quoth Cassandra.

Or was he an aeried being,
Or was he weening - alack nay mo;
Her naysay raught his heart,
Her daffing was the grave of all hope -
She belied her own words,
He thought her life, save moreoer scourge,
She held him august, yet wee;
He left her neer without his heart.
