Lyrics
Oracle, let the chicken live
Requesting the oracle to spare the life of a chicken.
If he may leave his short career
Asking if the chicken can end its brief existence willingly.
If he will not interfere
Desiring that the chicken's departure should not cause any disturbance.
Oracle, let the chicken live
Reiterating the plea to the oracle to let the chicken live.
If this world is a patient place
Contemplating whether the world is a forgiving place.
If he will owe you not for this grace
If the chicken doesn't owe the oracle for its continued existence.
Oracle, let the chicken live
Repeating the request to spare the chicken's life.
Oracle, let the chicken live
Continuing the plea for the oracle to let the chicken live.
If his weight will not be too much
Considering whether the chicken's weight is bearable.
If his pain will not be seen as such
Hoping the chicken's suffering is not apparent.
Oracle, let the chicken live
Re-emphasizing the desire for the oracle to spare the chicken.
If this world will not resent
Considering if the world will hold a grudge against the chicken.
If there is nothing he must represent
Questioning whether the chicken has a significant role to play.
Oracle, let the chicken live
Reiterating the request for the oracle to let the chicken live.
Oracle, let the chicken live
Requesting the oracle once more to spare the chicken's life.
If this world is worth more than he
Contemplating whether the world values the chicken more than its life.
If to kill him leaves him to me
If killing the chicken means losing something personally.
Oracle, let the chicken live
Final plea to the oracle to let the chicken live.
