Written On The Walls Lyrics - Iced Earth - Iced Earth

On the night the darkness fell 

Across the naked land 

A demon force was summoned up 

From the bowels of hell 

The stench of death grew thick that night 

We knew it was the end 

We run to find a place to hide 

The land was raped and bare 

The wind it blows and 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 world's 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
