The Writing's On The Wall

I have met my maker and returned What advice I'm giving To all those living Is just to learn what I have learned Life is dear There can be no victory in defeat If outnumbered, beat a fast retreat To the nearest shelter and dig in When you live, then you win Scratch and claw for every day you're worth Make them drag you screaming From life, keep dreaming You'll live forever here on earth I have read the writing on the wall And it's clearly spelt out For those who held out That holding on to life is all Is it clear? If you hear my voice, then you're alive What a bloody marvel we survive When you think of every risk we face In our mad human race I have read the writing on the wall Try to live forever And give up never The fight, you'll need the wherewithal Can't you heed the lightning As I plead, inciting you To read the writing on the wall
