AN ORACLE

Intro
From the oceans of eternity
The future circles her prey
She’s travelled through an oracle to meet me here
Just to come and crash in a wave

Verse 1
Personal parenthetic
Tuberculo
Sounds aesthetic
Aversion though
Habanero to burn and choke
And it’s the track that made it happen
So I rap in sacred patterns
And they call me a de Bergerac with vertigo
Or Napoleon Bonaparte
My bones have been blown apart
Two eyes to get to know it like I’m Noah’s arc
One moment
One play
If the whole world’s a stage
Then I’m Shakespeare’s grave

Verse 2 – Jordan Thomas Mitchell

Lighter fluid on Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss”
All of the colours run down into a pool of liquid
Red burns the hues of the yellows
Overwhelmed the politeness of the blues
and the greens at the helm
well
strike a match
Light a the cigarette ash
all over the broken craft
let it burn down back into soot
into the minerals that formed its materials
Like wine grapes crushed under a foot
Pressure
How can one possibly measure all that it took
To refine diamonds from gold
Whole generations of living beings dead
Decayed, reformed and sold in shops
Whole city blocks dance the dance to own rocks
I too will decay
I too will be carbon
I too will transform
and maybe someone will wear me on their necks
and people will see me and pay their respects
For the dead

Verse 3
Moments I’ve devoted
Emoted in the spoken
Provoking hope in hopeless
And cloaked in potent quotes
Opposing triggers loaded
And all nomadic omens
Emotions grow through thematic notions
Ecstatic oceans

But I write to heal all the scars
Every word is a bridge between Venus and Mars
And a dam to stop these wounds from cutting deeper
but Luka means wound in Bahasa Indonesia
And their custom is to teach ya
So I trust it no amnesia
I remember in the streets the Rhodesians would try to eat us
Now I’m feeding on the geniuses
That have faced what’s deceiving us
And leading to the keys to the teachings of the Sphinx and Oedipus

The teachings of the Sphinx and Oedipus
The lava in the womb of the earth – the heat in each of us
The pulse of the wings of a bird – Icarus
The pulse of your heart in a surge – the beat in each of us
