Hostilities Intruding: HOME | CONTENTS

   CASSANDRA

We can't go far...
How can we run away?
It's hard to try
When there's no second chance.
Walls get in the way.

We came just yesterday.
We won't go back again.
We are forgotten men -
Dropping from the sky.

And they say
"Can you tell us anything?
Is there some news
On this cold and captive afternoon?

When will the men arrive?
Will I go home soon?
Will we stay behind these walls
The rest of our lives?"

Cassandra.
I was young...you tried to tell me.
Cassandra.
I was wrong. I never believed I'd be
Just standing here -
Locked and filed away.
Will we ever get out of this place?
Will we ever get out of this place?

I can hear you call again -
Through the rock and wire.
Walls refuse me...stone surrounds me...
Blocking out the sky!

Cassandra.
I was young...you tried to tell me.
Cassandra.
I was wrong. I never believed I'd be
Just standing here -
Locked and filed away.
Will we ever get out of this place?
Will we ever get out of this place?
