prophecy Sung by a Hologram Goblin

They don't want you to know about prophecy. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about prophecy for centuries.

prophecy carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of prophecy more interesting than the actual one.
