Lyrics

He gave to her, yet tenfold claimed in return -
She hath no life but the one he for her wrought;
Proffered to her his walking heart - she turned it down
Reposted with a tell-tale lore of lies and scorn

Prophetess or fond?
Though her parle of truth:
"I can tomorrow - refell me if ye can!"
Yet the kiss and breath - apollo's bane -
Sëer of the future, not of twain
"Sicker!", quoth cassandra

Still, is she lief and quaint in his eye, a sight divine? -
A mistress fueled by his prest haughtiness -
If he did grant, wherefore then did he not foresee
Belike egal as it to him might be?!

Prophetess or fond?
Though her parle of truth:
"I can tomorrow - refell me if ye can!"
Yet the kiss and breath - apollo's bane -
Sëer of the future, not of twain
"Sicker!", quoth cassandra

'Or was he an eried being
'Or was he weening - alack nay mo;
Her naysay' rought his heart
Her daffing was the grave of all hope -
She belied her own words
He thought her life, save moreo'er scourge
She held him august, yet wee;
He left her ne'er without his heart

Though her parle of truth:
"I can tomorrow - refell me if ye can!"
Yet the kiss and breath - apollo's bane -
Sëer of the future, not of twain
"Sicker!", quoth cassandra

'Or was he an eried being
'Or was he weening - alack nay mo;
Her naysay' rought his heart
Her daffing was the grave of all hope -
