[Verse 1]
Bm G A
E thousand years from now on
Bm G A
The flame of life's gone out
Bm G A
The earth - a frozen wasteland
D Bm G
No living trace - no sounds
Bm G A
The world did die in anguish
Bm G A
The ashes turned to dust
Bm A
Fire and ice - blackness of night
D
Man's evolution has lost
[Chorus]
Em D
Don't tell me that we didn't know
Em D
And that we haven't been told
Em D Bm A
The final s.o.s. we all ignored
A Bm G Bm G
We've seen the writing on the wall
Bm G Bm G
The writing on the wall
[Verse 2]
Bm G A
The science of the madman
Bm G A
Was getting out of control
Bm G A
For every creature comfort
D Bm G
There is a heavy toll
Bm G A
We turned on mother nature
Bm G A
Stabbed her deep in a back
Bm A
We ripped out her lungs - poisoned her veins
D
Internal acid attack
[Chorus]
Em D
Don't tell me that we didn't know
Em D
And that we haven't been told
Em D Bm A
The final s.o.s. we all ignored
A Bm G Bm G
We've seen the writing on the wall

The writing on the wall

Seen the writing on the wall

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