"Cassandra's Curse", written by R.J. Williamson.
Sung by me.

Underneath the moonlight of a bitter cold November
Night provides no comfort from the burdens of the day
As the pestilence descends upon us, I remember
All the times I tried to tell you we would end this way

Where's the words that went astray?
What's the wisdom? Which to say?

Silently they slipped away
Silently they slipped away

Shivering beneath the paling glimmer of a streetlight
Trespassing within the garden of a public park
Stealing, for a moment, solace, breathing in the free night
Watching as the lights inside the houses all go dark

What's the stone that struck the spark?
Where is Noah? Which the Ark?

Sailed away with all embarked
Sailed away with all embarked

Looking to the heavens as the lights above me flicker
Darkness growing deeper as the lamps and candles die
Blood upon the moon, and all the shadows growing thicker
One by one, and all undone, the stars in every sky

What's awaiting you or I?
Which the question? Who or why?

Wasted whispers, wave goodbye
Wasted whispers, wave goodbye
