Writings On The Wall
by Eli

Album: Second Hand Clothing

This is not a rebel song
Not a rebel song, but I am bleeding
He said "I crawled on hands and knees
I pushed my way through brush and tree"
But a deaf man sees what he wants to see
While he is reading

Six o'clock and all is well tonight
I saw a horseman, he was bloodied from the fight
He read from pages as he tried to warn us all
He gave up and left the writings on the wall

So we gathered round the square
Multitudes of empty stares
Well, we couldn't admit that we were scared
Of his revelation
So we came in from the cold
Ignoring what we had been told
Reaping what we shouldn't have sown
Like devastation

Six o'clock and all is well tonight
I saw a horseman, he was bloodied from the fight
He read from pages as he tried to warn us all
He gave up and left the writings on the wall

Now upon us comes the siege
There's so much smoke it's hard to breathe
Well, someone call the Cavalry
It's too late we're choking
Well, it comes as no surprise
The horseman wasn't telling lies
But we all chose to criticize
Well, he wasn't joking
Too late

Six o'clock and all is well tonight
I saw a horseman, he was bloodied from the fight
He read from pages as he tried to warn us all
He gave up and left the writing on the wall

Six o'clock and all is well tonight
I saw a horseman, he was bloodied from the fight
He read from pages as he tried to warn us all
He gave up and left the writings on the wall
