Writing on the Wall

(Heavy Metal / Metal Ballad, Germany)

(Accept + Deaffy)

thousand 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 a writing on the wall

The writing on the wall

(Death Row, 1993)
