The Writing's On The Wall
I have met my maker and returned
What advice I'm giving
To all those living
Is just to learn what I have learned
Life is dear
There can be no victory in defeat
If outnumbered, beat a fast retreat
To the nearest shelter and dig in
When you live, then you win
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth
Make them drag you screaming
From life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth
I have read the writing on the wall
And it's clearly spelt out
For those who held out
That holding on to life is all
Is it clear?
If you hear my voice, then you're alive
What a bloody marvel we survive
When you think of every risk we face
In our mad human race
I have read the writing on the wall
Try to live forever
And give up never
The fight, you'll need the wherewithal
Can't you heed the lightning
As I plead, inciting you
To read the writing on the wall
What advice I'm giving
To all those living
Is just to learn what I have learned
Life is dear
There can be no victory in defeat
If outnumbered, beat a fast retreat
To the nearest shelter and dig in
When you live, then you win
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth
Make them drag you screaming
From life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth
I have read the writing on the wall
And it's clearly spelt out
For those who held out
That holding on to life is all
Is it clear?
If you hear my voice, then you're alive
What a bloody marvel we survive
When you think of every risk we face
In our mad human race
I have read the writing on the wall
Try to live forever
And give up never
The fight, you'll need the wherewithal
Can't you heed the lightning
As I plead, inciting you
To read the writing on the wall
