Cassiel's Song

We've come to bring you home

Haven't we, Cassiel?

To cast aside your loss and all of 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

Where time itself was mad and far too strong

Where life leapt up laughing and hit you hear 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

But then again those damn clocks, they probably won't

Will they, Cassiel?

One moment you are there

Then strangely you are gone

But on behalf of us all here

We're glad to have you home

Aren't we, dear Cassiel?
