The Oracle from MUTATIS MUTANDIS by Construction & Destruction

I’m the goddamn Oracle, right?
I’m doubled-up on the omphalos of the world.
I’m the sage at the center of the fucking world.
Watch me work, now.
Watch me work.

Listen as I tell you why your fields are ablaze;
why the warmongers come,
why your leaders are crazed.
Travelled far, Little Seeker?
Did you brace yourself the whole way?

‘Cause you’re gonna shake when I deliver the news.
You’re gonna feel the quaking
in the cities and their schools.

A ripple’s gonna come and break
the surface of your pools,
and the water will rise fast
but someone’s always gotta lose.

And I was groomed to tell you;
I was reared to bear the news.
I’m the Soothsayer, Seeker.
I can see the Future You.
Little Traveller, this place is so
overrun with fools
and I’m spent,
doubled-over on my
tripod stool.

I foresaw the bipeds, and art,
and the ruse.
I lit the cave,
I could obliterate you.

So go home, Little Seeker,
and just see it all through.
‘Cause something’s always coming,
some casual doom.
And in the end it’ll get you,
and there’s nothing you can do.
