Iced Earth - Written On The Walls lyrics

One the night the darkness fell Across the naked land A demon force was summoned up From the bowels of hell The stench of d**h grew thick that night We knew it was the end We run to find a place to hid The land was raped and bare The wind it blows a eerie cold A fog that never lifts Their tears will flood the land tonight And the thunder's drowned by screams As I lay here Freezing veins of ice What will be for me What will be the price Is it what they say Is it written on the walls Why can't we stop This shattered worlds' fate Why didn't we try at all Armageddon town life is gone We knew it was the way Written down so long ago Implanted in our minds Our fathers told us of this hell They read it on the walls It's written on the walls It's written on the walls The frightened children know not why And no one will explain We've brought it all upon ourselves An ending to this world Forgiveness for your soul you pray But it's written on the walls
