LYRICS 

"Down at the forum the ragged man the soothsayer 
Was whispering a prophecy 
Beware the ides the ides of March
The coronation Caesar looks down and sees the ragged man again 
Taunting “Soothsayer, the Ides have come…” and he replies “aye…but not gone” 

Tell me soothsayer my future will I meet someone 
And when I die will my life mean anything to anyone 

And tell me soothsayer of the past of what would have been 
If I knew then what I know now 
Did I waste my precious youth?

Down at the forum the ragged man the soothsayer
Was whispering a prophecy
Beware the ides the ides of March
The coronation Caesar looks down and sees the ragged man again
Taunting “Soothsayer, the Ides have come…” and he replies “aye…but not gone”

Tell me soothsayer my future will I meet someone
And when I die will my life mean anything to anyone

And tell me soothsayer of the past of what would have been
If I knew then what I know now
Did I waste my precious youth?"

Soothsayer

Ocean of Always

Hunter-gatherers, smartphone addiction, the allegory of the cave, alien abduction and the Great Resignation are among the topics that Washington, D.C.'s Nico Crimson covers in his irreverently titled EP "Basic Masterpiece." Originally from Port Townsend, WA, his many music projects have shared a few constants -- a rich baritone voice, vulnerable lyrics and catchy pop songwriting.
