Worum geht es in dem Song?

"The Writing On The Wall" von Iron Maiden ist ein Lied, das eine dystopische Zukunft beschreibt, in der die Menschheit a...

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, it′s 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?
