The Writing On The Wall lyrics

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 jury 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 coming but you don’t want to 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
