Cassiel's Song

We've come to bring you home

Haven't we, cassiel?



To cast aside your loss and all your sadness

And shuffle off that mortal coil and mortal madness

For we're here to pick you up and bring you home

Aren't we, cassiel?



It's a place where you did not belong

Were time itself was mad and far too strong

Where life leapt up laughing and hit you head on

And hurt you, didn't it hurt you, cassiel?



While time outran you and trouble flew toward you,

And you were there to greet it,

Weren't you, foolish cassiel?



But here we are, we've come to call you home

And here you'll stay never more to stray

Where you can kick off your boots of clay

Can't you, cassiel?



For death and you did recklessly collide

And time ran out of you

And you ran out of time,

Didn't you, cassiel?



And all the clocks, in all the world

May this once just skip a beat in memory of you

Then again those damn clocks, they probably won't

Will they, cassiel?



One moment you are there and then strangely you are gone,

But on behalf of all of us here we are glad to have you home

Aren't we, dear cassiel?
