Call them forth, Call them forth, From the passive past. The soothsayers and truthsayers The yeasayers and naysayers The foretellers and forthtellers Scanning the skies, Hoping for the horizon, Acting out the plan, Signing forth the ban Boon or bane Commendation or condemnation Blessing or curse, Let them wrap their mantles ’Round their hoary heads and cry: “Thus saith the Lord” Once more.
