The Writing On The Wall Lyrics

Have you seen the writing on the wall?

Everything must come to an end seems to be the message of the song. It's a bit reminiscent of The Book of Souls, both musically and lyrically. Empires come and go.

"The dead gave us the time to live, but now our time is done"

People before us worked hard to create a better future and better world, but we are leaving a mess for future generations.
