A/N: When I wrote this filk, I had already read #50, but only a sample chapter of #52. Since then, I've written a sequel/apology which includes stuff from #52-53, to the tune of "Cassandra" by ABBA. Yes, the one where the background vocals consist of three words: I'm sorry, Cassandra.
You can see the lyrics of "Twist in My Sobriety" at http://www.treehouse.cz/tanita/lyrics.php , and the MP3 at http://www.cs.bme.hu/~roxane .
"I could not stop looking at Cassie.
I was not exactly sure what I was feeling.
But I was sure it was very close to hatred."
Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, in Animorphs #52, The Sacrifice
Innocence comes before all else,
drive your problems from here.
You've kept Jake from his duty,
now your conscience is clear.
I hear you talk, girl,
now your conscience is clear.
The peaceful world you still dream about
is so far away,
I like to think we're all better off
if we don't do what you say.
We can still like you,
but shouldn't do what you say.
Listen, Cassie, you've got to choose.
Tell me clearly what you want to lose:
this whole war, or just your sanity?
Tell me, which one's your priority?
Tell me, which one's your priority?
Tell me, which one's your priority?
You know that you made a crazy choice
in order to keep your little joys.
In this word full of hostility,
your Jake's smile should keep you free.
I don't care about your different thoughts,
different thoughts are good for me.
But you may have doomed us all,
so he'd keep his perfect role.
Listen, Cassie...
Trade your morals for Earth's freedom!
Time to risk a life, a life, a life?
You'd risk your own
without a doubt.
But you must risk more in this fight,
must risk others in this fight.
Half the people will be have to
put through the worst hell,
to save the rest of the people.
People we'll have to sell,
dreams you'll have to sell.
Listen, Cassie...
Another A/N: I once sang this to my mother, and she immediately replied: I'd rather lose the war, of course! Great minds, such as my mother and Cassie, think alike.
