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 on to 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?
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?
I lost a lot of sleep
With my restless mind
I can't conceal the bleeding
Of the pain we hide
If there was any way to show you
So you could see
If there was any way to tell you
How to believe
But I couldn't find the words
No, I couldn't find the words
To mend you
Complicated disarray
Can't escape the silence that's between us
I hear it in your voice
Left without a choice
A distant light, a falling star
Far from where you are
If there was any way to show you
So you could see
If there was any way to tell you
How to believe
But I couldn't find the words
No, I couldn't find the words
To mend you
Underneath a moonlit night
Here below the stars I find
All I need is for you to see
There is love to pull us through
I will never turn away from you
Won't turn away from you,
If there was any way to show you
So you could see
If there was any way to tell you
How to believe
But I couldn't find the words
No, I couldn't find the words
To mend your heart
To mend your heart
If there was any way to show you (any way)
So you could see (you could see)
If there was any way to tell you (any way)
How to believe (to believe)
But I couldn't find the words (couldn't find the words)
No, I couldn't find the words
To mend your heart
I won't turn away from you
I won't turn away from you
