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



But 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 us all here



We're glad to have you home



Aren't we, dear Cassiel?
