The Writing On the Wall
I stumbled into a graveyard
And found written upon a stone
"In this place lies the human race,
Who died greedy and all alone"
It was dated Two-thousand and thirty-five
The year that man had died
The tomb was split just a little bit
So I decided to look inside
I saw what will be our future
Or maybe I should say our end
Covered in soil were barrels of oil
And money, too much to spend
I saw miles of nuclear weapons
As far as the eye could see
A place so sublime it was frozen in time
For all of eternity
Bodies lined the inner chamber
A warning to one and all
The price of greed means death indeed
The writing is on the wall
I stumbled into a graveyard
And found written upon a stone
"In this place lies the human race,
Who died greedy and all alone"
