lyrics

cassie dreams of men at war
cassie dreams of IEDs
cassie dreams in anaphore
no one listens when she screams

cassie, what do you say?
cassie, can't hear you
cassie, what do you say?
no one cares

cassie slept in the holy shade
cassie slept with serpents round her tight
they whispered in her ear & gave her precious gifts
to look around & always see what is found

cassie, what do you say?
cassie, I can't hear you
cassie, what do you say?
no one cares

apollo came & that pig wanted some
but hecuba's daughter firmly held her ground
in his ire that man cursed her something fierce
to speak the truth but always be dashed aground

cassie, what do you say?
cassie, I can't hear you
cassie, what do you say?
