Pay no attention to the writing on the wall

The words seem empty, 'cause there's nothing there at all

We let the wise men beat the drums too soon

We were just children of the moon

Too late to save us, but try to understand

The seas were empty, there was hunger in the land

We let the blind man lead the way too long

Easy to see where we went wrong

Are hiding from the sun and the sky

Watch it all go by

Are blinded by the light in their eyes

Follow the pilgrim to the temple of the dawn

The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone

We let the madmen write the golden rules

We were no more than mortal fools

Hiding from the sky
