Cassandra's Mirror

My name is Cassandra

I’ve been foreseeing things for as long as I can remember

I saw my parents die

But there wasn’t anyone to listen to the children’s tales

I saw my children die

Before I even conceived them

Don’t cry, oh don’t

Don’t trust, your eyes

I’m damned if I tell you what is written in the stars tonight

(Talk to me, talk to me)

I’m damned if I don’t try to ignore the lines of your hand

When I cannot read but sorrow and pain in your eyes

I met you once before

You were standing in the rain

Overhanging on the cliff of a distant shore

You asked me who I was

But the truth was in my eyes

And you knew it to tell well from the start

You are me and I am you

But years have been tearing us apart

Don’t cry, oh don’t

Don’t trust, your eyes

I’m damned if I tell you what is written in the stars tonight

(Talk to me, talk to me)

I’m damned if I don’t try to ignore the lines of your hand

When I cannot read but sorrow and pain in your eyes

I don’t believe in you

Please stop talking to me now

I want to turn away

And be free to choose my path

I don’t believe in you

Oh please now vanish from my dreams

I am just a child

And I will ignore your lies
