Soothsayer

Soothsayer, soothsayer

Can you save them?

Can you save them?

Can you see the streets in blood?

The remnants of your name?

Soothsayer can you save them?

I had heard of her gift

Off the road from nowhere

Divine in her sight

If your after aware

A child and no tricks

So the ravings declared

This patron looked right beyond that far hill in that house she lives there

So there I go

There I go

A crowd was in form, believers in prayer

Shouts of “die witch” amidst the fanfare

A mere fourteen her look was of despair

This gift seemed more of a curse that she bears

And she spoke of how much that is unknown

That she sees the part of a future unfold

She speaks of only the things she's shown

With what becomes of it she's not in control

But one by one they told her of their plight

They begged her to give of her knowledge and insight

With poise she imparted her visions of foresight

But more fickle is the finger of fate than she’d like

Soothsayer

Can you see the way?

May these words bring you peace

And now, go behold of what will come to be

Soothsayer, can you change this?

Can you see the coming flood?

The warring in your name?

Soothsayer, can you change this?

By week’s end her legend was tenfold

The news of the heavenly oracle took hold

I stood in her audience, now at the crossroads

As swarms had developed surrounding her small home

Then I spoke, not of to be, but what’s been

And warned of the slippery slope that she slid

That I see an era of violence that brims

And implored she consider this choice that I give

Soothsayer, all that will, let it be

Soothsayer, all that is, none can see

Soothsayer, let these words set you free

And now, give this leave and come away with me

Soothsayer, can you save them?

Soothsayer, can you save us?
