[Verse 1]
Cm G# A#
F thousand years from now on
Cm G# A#
The flame of life's gone out
Cm G# A#
The earth - a frozen wasteland
D# Cm G#
No living trace - no sounds
Cm G# A#
The world did die in anguish
Cm G# A#
The ashes turned to dust
Cm A#
Fire and ice - blackness of night
D#
Man's evolution has lost
[Chorus]

Don't tell me that we didn't know
Fm D#
And that we haven't been told
Fm D# Cm A#
The final s.o.s. we all ignored
A# Cm G# Cm G#
We've seen the writing on the wall
Cm G# Cm G#
The writing on the wall
[Verse 2]
Cm G# A#
The science of the madman
Cm G# A#
Was getting out of control
Cm G# A#
For every creature comfort
D# Cm G#
There is a heavy toll
Cm G# A#
We turned on mother nature
Cm G# A#
Stabbed her deep in a back
Cm A#
We ripped out her lungs - poisoned her veins
D#
Internal acid attack
[Chorus]
Fm D#
Don't tell me that we didn't know
Fm D#
And that we haven't been told

We've seen the writing on the wall

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