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.
You see the fire
It's burning bright
The pungent smoke comes near
Turn up the radio
And listen to
Don't know what's happening here
They say "Don't Fear"
It's so harmless
Everything is under control
Just close your windows
And go to sleep
Tomorrow it's all over
See
See the writing on the wall

Tschernobyl in Russia
Don't get scared, it's so far
Radiation is not so high
Schweizerhalle in Switzerland
Just a little fire man
Panic? No, I ask you why
They are poisoning our water
Creatures die, it doesn't matter
It's so sad that they can't cry
Chemistry in our food
Never eat, don't be a fool
If you do, you surely die
Just a mistake
Not so bad
But these people
They will die
Contermination
A new disaster
They all do what they want
You feel the panic
It's creeping near
They sure would have their fun
They feel important
We are just scum
In their eyes we're all fools
See
See the writing on the wall

Read the answers to your calls
You must strike back
With your own mind
You've got to defend your life
Never give up
Don't let them win
Everyone want to survive
You try to stop them
Without success
You can't do anything alone
But all together
We have got a chance
Together we are strong
See
See the writing on the wall

"Dedicated to all the creatures who died
Because of the chemical disaster in Schweizerhalle Basel I.II.1986..."
