Cassandra Speaks
She's unrecognised
And easily dismissed
Ignored or despised
The one a god has kissed
To make a contribution
Is all that she seeks
And so once again
Cassandra speaks
In the teeth of her curse
Those in charge aren't listening
Things are getting worse
Cassandra says
What we know in our bones
But her microphone's been muted
Lies get megaphones, Cassandra speaks
She sees through the lie
That manufactures fears
She sees with an eye
Streaked by tomorrow's tears
She hears misinformation
The havoc it wreaks
And so once again
Cassandra speaks
In the teeth of her curse
Those in charge aren't listening
Things get worse and worse
Cassandra says
What we know in our bones
But her microphone's been muted
Lies get megaphones
Some of us want nothing more
Than things to stay the same
And when that proves impossible
Cassandra's there to blame
Cassandra hopes
With survival at stake
That more than one Cassandra
Will cause the curse to break
So lift up your voice
Give wings to the word
A chorus of Cassandras
Cannot go unheard
Cassandra speaks
Cassandra speaks
Cassandra speaks
And easily dismissed
Ignored or despised
The one a god has kissed
To make a contribution
Is all that she seeks
And so once again
Cassandra speaks
In the teeth of her curse
Those in charge aren't listening
Things are getting worse
Cassandra says
What we know in our bones
But her microphone's been muted
Lies get megaphones, Cassandra speaks
She sees through the lie
That manufactures fears
She sees with an eye
Streaked by tomorrow's tears
She hears misinformation
The havoc it wreaks
And so once again
Cassandra speaks
In the teeth of her curse
Those in charge aren't listening
Things get worse and worse
Cassandra says
What we know in our bones
But her microphone's been muted
Lies get megaphones
Some of us want nothing more
Than things to stay the same
And when that proves impossible
Cassandra's there to blame
Cassandra hopes
With survival at stake
That more than one Cassandra
Will cause the curse to break
So lift up your voice
Give wings to the word
A chorus of Cassandras
Cannot go unheard
Cassandra speaks
Cassandra speaks
Cassandra speaks
