A thousand years from now on
The flame of life`s gone out
The earth - a frozen wasteland
No living trace - no sounds
The world did die 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 s.o.s. 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
Stabbed her deep in a back
We ripped out her lungs - poisoned her veins
Internal acid attack
Don`t tell me that we didn`t know
And that we never been told
The final s.o.s. we all ignored
We`ve seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
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 s.o.s. 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

    I like the message of this song. Indeed, writing is art. Many people express their feelings through the written word. I also sometimes write essays, but as I'm often short of time, I often use the PapersOwl writing service. It's one of the best in the business. You can check out the PapersOwl reviews on to get a real idea of what those who have used this service think of it. I've been using it for nearly three years, and I've always been satisfied with the work done.
