The Writing On The Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't tell us this is normal
Don't tell us there's no change
So selfish and immoral, you're to blame
'Cause you're the greatest rotter
Still crossing out of line
Now tell me who will suffer for all your crimes?
We are running out of time
Out of time
And the writing's on the wall
That the end will begin
Still you do not fade at all
And keep denying the greatest sin
Ignore the truth and follow
Reap all that you sow
Spawn the future sorrow, we will know
Refusing every warning
Deny the rate of change
The ignorance is swarming, what a shame
And you know that you're to blame
You're to blame
And the writing's on the wall
That the end will begin
Still you do not fade at all
Throwing lies to the wind
And the writing's on the wall
So I say it again
Still you do not fade at all
And keep denying the greatest sin
You're the one to blame
For this rate of change
No tomorrow
When will you see?
And the writing's on the wall
That the end will begin
Still you do nothing at all
Throwing lies to the wind
And the writing's on the wall
So I say it again
Still you do not fade at all
And keep denying the greatest sin
The greatest sin
Deny it again
When will it end?
