A 1000 years from now on The flame of life's gone out The earth, a frozen wasteland No living trace, no sounds The world did die in anguish The ashes turned to dust Fire and ice, blackness of night Man's evolution has lost Don't tell me that we didn't know And that we haven't been told The final S.O.S. we all ignored We've seen the writing on the wall The writing on the wall The science of the madman Was getting out of control For every creature comfort There is a heavy toll We turned on mother nature Stabbed her deep in a back We ripped out her lungs, poisoned her veins Internal acid attack Don't tell me that we didn't know And that we never been told The final S.O.S. we all ignored We've seen the writing on the wall The writing on the wall Seen the writing on the wall I'm just painting a picture Of how it could be But time's running out The clock's ticking down You're not blind, can't you see? Don't tell me that we still don't know And that we're not being told The final S.O.S. we shouldn't ignore Just read the writing on the wall The writing on the wall Read the writing on the wall The writing on the wall

Use to be so innocent, thought I'd never change A victim of the feeling then, fighting everything Nothing here is permanent, we all just fade away The writings on the wall, the stories I've been told Crying 'cause I know you won't be here too long The writings on the wall, I'm bracing for the fall So now if it's not too late to ask for more I hope that you will find what you are looking for You and I were dreaming like, we could see the other side With all the mess of ignorance, dreaming never hides But nothing here is permanent, we're running out of time The writings on the wall, the stories I've been told I'm crying 'cause I know you won't be here too long The writings on the wall, I'm bracing for the fall So now if it's not too late to ask for more I hope that you will find what you are looking for I try to forget, but the memory takes its toll Can't control it, how does this happen to us all How do I go on, in a world where you are gone Cold and heartless, find the will to carry on The writings on the wall, the stories I've been told Crying 'cause I know you won't be too long The writings on the wall, I'm bracing for the fall So now if it's not too late to ask for more I hope that you will find what you are looking for

Into the Abyss I'll fall, the eye of Horus Into the eyes of the night, watching me go Green is the cat's eye that glows In this Temple Enter the risen Osiris, risen again Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death When I was living this lie, fear was my game People would worship and fall Drop to their knees So bring me the blood and Red wine for the one to succeed me For he is a man and a god And He will die too Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins Silent the terror that reigned Marbled in stone A shell of a man, god preserved For a thousand ages But open the gates of my hell I'll strike from the grave Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death Slave to the Power of Death... Slave to the Power of Death...

In a foreign field he lay, lonely soldier unknown grave On his dying words he prays, tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through, last communion of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears. Let me tell you 'bout his years Laying low in a blood filled trench, killing time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain, never see my friends again In the smoke in the mud and lead, smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall, rapid fire and the end of us all Whistles, shouts and more gun fire, lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb, be reunited with my dead friends soon Many soldiers eighteen years, drown in mud no more tears Surely a war no-one can win, killing time about to begin Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes, the sea of death it overflows In no man's land God only knows, into jaws of death we go Crucified as if on a cross, allied troops they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine, such before has never been seen Swear I heard the angels cry, pray to god no more will die So that people know the truth, tell the tale of Paschendale Cruelty has a human heart, everyman does play his part Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time, gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow, rush of blood and over we go Blood is falling like the rain, its crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hide their shame, and so we die on Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire, running straight at cannon fire Running blind as I hold my breath, say a prayer symphony of death As we charge the enemy lines, a burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no-one hears, feel the blood go down my throat Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again, those who died at Paschendale

From the red sky of the east, to the sunset in the west We have cheated death and he has cheated us But that was just a dream, and this is what it means We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore And the fragment remains, of our memories And the shadows we made, with our hands Deeper grey, came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn Will this journeyman's day be his last I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away But the memory still remains, all the past years not so strange Our winter times are like a silent shroud And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away And winter's not the only dream around In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away
