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?

[Nick Cave, Cassiel’s Song.]

Auf meinem Begräbnis zu spielen. Seriously. [audio:cassiel.mp3] 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? [Nick Cave, Cassiel's Song.]
