Writing On The Wall

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

I shared a secret One that you could never keep And how you just breathe it To everyone that you ever meet And when I heard it Second hand, so to speak I saw that I was someone else And you became just someone else And all of the stories How they just flow right out of your mouth Now all of their glory Was not enough to go around If they're all hungry Yeah, they're only mouths to feed And you can all say no No, I could never say no But now the writing's on our walls As the curtains take their call And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky Of a widow and bride, of you and I So bury your weakness And chew the marrow from the bone Keep yourself a secret From all of those who've always known It's been revealing Ignore your skin as it peels away It's been revealing What you could never begin to explain There's the writing on our walls As the curtains take their call And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky Of a widow and bride, of you and I I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again I won't let it happen again

Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds All that's left of what we were, it's what we have become Once our empires glorious but now the empire's gone The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done Now we are victorious, we've become our slaves A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding? Holding on to fury is that all we ever know Ignorance our judge and jury, all we've got to show From Hollywood to Babylon, holy war to kingdom come On a trail of dust and ashes when the burning sky is done A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear The earthquake is a-comin' but you don't wanna hear You're just too blind to see Have you seen the writing on the wall? Have you seen that writing? Can you see the riders on the storm? Can you see them riding? Can you see them riding, riding next to you? Have you seen the writing on the wall?

Don't tell us this is normal Don't tell us there's no change So selfish and immoral You're to blame Cause you're the greatest rotter Still crossing out of line Now tell me who will suffer For all your crimes? We are running out of time Out of time And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin Ignore the truth and follow Reap all that you sow Spawn the future sorrow We will know Refusing every warning Deny the rate of change The ignorance is swarming What a shame Then you know that you're to blame You're to blame And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all Throwing lies to the wind And the writing's on the wall So I say it again Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin You're the one to blame For this rate of change No tomorrow When will you see? And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all Throwing lies to the wind And the writing's on the wall So I say it again Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin The greatest sin Deny it again When will it end?

Is it powers of intuition? Is it insecurity? You know I can read your mind and You have been deceiving me Which face wears the masque this evening? When will your true colors show? Will they be as black as shadows Hiding 'neath the rainbow? Had my heart on a silver chain With the words engraved "I loved you" Like a swan that was lost at sea I lost all of me to you Now I see the writing on the wall Paranoia or perception Put your faith in a liar's hands Wanting to believe his words But never knowing where he stands Had my heart on a silver chain With the words engraved "I loved you" Like a swan that was lost at sea I lost all of me to you Now I see the writing on the wall There's too many misconceptions In this game of consequence When you're finding that your hero Is just who you're up against Had my heart on a silver chain With the words engraved "I loved you" Like a swan that was lost at sea I lost all of me to you Now I see the writing on the wall
