The Writings On the Wall
Oh! Do see and behold
Of mother and womb
The writings on the wall
Crouching about the world so high
Their presence you can't deny
Hallelujah,
hallelujah,
hallelujah...
Hallelujah
Is Your faith draining now?
As doubt begins to wain
The writings on the wall
Lovingly, you carass his hand
And usher him into silence
Hallelujah,
hallelujah,
hallelujah...
Hallelujah
Many hands, worthless maids
Greater casualties of war
The writings on the wall
Life begins to fade, oh dear child of God
your eyes have lost their light
Hallelujah,
hallelujah,
my hallelujah...
Hallelujah
Angst of shallow ,lonely breathes
Tears that scar my hide
The writings on the wall
Candle-slacken voice, light has faded
My hallelujah,
hallelujah,
my hallelujah,
Hallelujah
The writings on the wall
Poverty of war, cost was my one inheritance
Searing, blisters of pain
Hallelujah
Emptied-out in a crowd
Chanters of my dispair
My hallelujah,
my hallelujah,
oh hallelujah,
my hallelujah
Oh Hallelujah!
Oh Hallelujah!
Oh Hallelujah!
Oh Hallelujah!
