Lyrics for 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
