Writing On The Wall

The kind of man
Who owns a crown
Proceeds to gather those around him to the hall

Enticing woman
Like a thousand suns
Proceeds to force her will upon everyone else

Neither of them read the writing on the wall
All too sure to be entitled to it all

Will you give it all?
Straightening up and standing tall
Will you keep on dying to read the writing on the wall?

Two mighty tyrants
A sea of thirst
In stolen vessels sinful fruits are being served

Look at all the riches!
So beautiful!
We don't owe anything to anyone but ourselves

Disclose the meaning of the writing on the wall
We don't know!
Just because we are entitled to it all
We want to know!
There must be meaning to the writing on the wall
We don't know!
Deny yourself and shine your light on us all

Will you give it all?
Straightening up and standing tall
Will you keep on dying to read the writing on the wall?

If it's all too simple
Yet fitting nonetheless
Those mighty tyrants, they reside in all of us
