A Thousand Years Living trace, no sound The world it died 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 SOS 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 Stepped her deep in the back Ripped out her lungs, poisoned her veins Internal acid attack Don't tell me that we didn't know And that we haven't been told The final SOS we all ignored We've seen the writing on the wall The writing on the wall We've 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 SOS 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
