G thousand years from now on

The flame of life's gone out
Dm A# C
The earth - a frozen wasteland

Fire and ice - blackness of night

Man's evolution has lost
[Chorus]
Gm F
Don't tell me that we didn't know
Gm F
And that we haven't been told
Gm F Dm C
The final s.o.s. we all ignored
C Dm A# Dm A#
We've seen the writing on the wall

The science of the madman
Dm A# C
Was getting out of control
Dm A# C
For every creature comfort
F Dm A#
There is a heavy toll
Dm A# C
We turned on mother nature

[Verse 3]
Dm A# C
I'm just painting a picture
Dm A# C
Of how it could be
Dm C
But time's running out - the clock's ticking down
F
You're not blind - can't you see
[Chorus]
Gm F
Don't tell me that we still don't know
Gm F
And that we're not being told
Gm F Dm C
The final s.o.s. we shouldn't ignore
Dm A# Dm A#
Just read the writing on the wall
Dm A# Dm A#
The writing on the wall
