Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds
All that’s left of what we were it’s what we have become
Once our empires glorious, but now the empire’s gone
The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done
Now we are victorious, we’ve become our slaves
A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave
Have you seen the writing on the wall
Have you seen that writing
Can you see the riders on the storm
Can you see them riding, can you see them riding
Holding onto fury is that all we ever know
Ignorance our judge and jury all we’ve got to show
From Hollywood to Babylon, holy war to kingdom come
On a trail of dust and ashes when the burning sky is done
A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear
The earthquake is a coming, but you don’t want to hear
You’re just too blind to see
Have you seen the writing on the wall
Have you seen that writing
Can you see the riders on the storm
Can you see them riding
Can you see them riding
Riding next to you
Have you seen the writing on the wall
Have you seen that writing
Can you see the riders on the storm
Can you see them riding
Can you see them riding
Riding next to you
Have you seen the writing on the wall
Have you seen that writing
Can you see the riders on the storm
Can you see them riding
Can you see them riding
Riding next to you
