There on the Wall

[Verse 1]
I'm in the camp of enchanters, oh no!
Astrologers and diviners in stow
Their chemicals and collections of gold
I'm out of place, oh oh oh
I'm out of place

[Verse 2]
You're sippin' slow from your bottle of wine
You've got your wives, nobles and concubines
The pearly teeth of the lady in white
They're in the way, oh oh oh
They're in the way

[Chorus]
There on the wall with your future in reach
Knew it was coming but you just don't understand
Your royal throne and your glory deplete
You saw it coming but you just don't understand

[Verse 3]
A human hand by the wall, they told me
The king was pale and his knees were knocking
Wrote out a phrase on the plaster in ink
I'm not afraid of you, oh oh
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

[Chorus]
There on the wall with your future in reach
Knew it was coming but you just don't understand
Your royal throne and your glory deplete
You saw it coming but you just don't understand
There on the wall with your future in reach
Knew it was coming but you just don't understand
Your royal throne and your glory deplete
You saw it coming but you just don't understand

[Bridge]
Held up a fist for your days are numbered
No patron saint when they came for you that night
Your bed was stained from the red of hunted
There at the wall in Babylon

[Break]

[Chorus]
There on the wall with your future in reach
Knew it was coming but you just don't understand
Your royal throne and your glory deplete
You saw it coming but you just don't understand
There on the wall with your future in reach
Knew it was coming but you just don't understand
Your royal throne and your glory deplete
You saw it coming but you just don't understand

[Outro]
There on the wall, oh no
Knew it was coming, no you just don't understand
Your royal throne, oh no
You saw it coming but you just don't understand
