I silenced the song that was meant to unite And scattered the crowd into fear and spite The peace I shattered became the flame And history carved my name into blame The louder I scream, the less they hear, Every warning transforms into fear, The path I resist pulls tighter still, As though the years themselves possess a will. I saw the ashes before they were born, I saw the cities abandoned and torn, Yet every attempt to sever the thread, Leads me back to the words I dread. Time may have bettered me after all I lifted the past only to watch it fall The future remains beyond my command Like the sand of an hourglass falling from my hand My dear Cassandra Failure haunts every step I take Is there nothing I can do to chase the doom away? I am the cause of what I can't prevent A self fulfilling prophecy was never my intent I saw the ashes before they were born, I saw the cities abandoned and torn, Yet every attempt to sever the thread, Leads me back to the words I dread. Mauz: I am the omen nobody out there believes. A prophet tangled in causality's weave, I chased tomorrow to rewrite the end. But time beat down every truth I could defend. Beelzebub: My dear Cassandra My dear Cassandra, My dear Cassandra My dear Cassandra, My dear Cassandra
