A 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 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
