Construction & Destruction - The Oracle Lyrics

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
