Blackmore's Night - Writing On The Wall Lyrics






Is it powers of intuition?
Is it insecurity?
You know I can read your mind and
You have been deceiving me...
Which face wears the masque this evening?
When will your true colors show?
Will they be as black as shadows
Hiding 'neath the rainbow...
Had my heart on a silver chain
With the words engraved
"I loved you"...
Like a swan that was lost at sea
I lost all of me
To you...
Now I see the writing on the wall...
Paranoia or perception?
Put your faith in a liar's hands
Wanting to believe his words
But never knowing where he stands...
There's too many misconceptions
In this game of consequence
When you're finding that your hero
Is just who you're up against:

    ✨🖤🌕✨🖤🌕

  3. m.... h....

    It's been a long time since I've listened to this song. First of all, It better not be a Silver Chain. Then you know he's a cheap bastard that cheats on others & gives them a Heart on a Silver Chain. LOL. He's just a Pig..🐷🐖& a Dog. 🐺

  4. l.... ....

    I dont know what it is about this song but every time I hear it I cant help thinking of Ronnie James Dio version of Rainbow. I think this song and Village on the sand would have fitted very well on Rainbow Rising.

  5. S.... k....

    In my opinion the should have left out Swan lake all the rest is good But swan lake ruined it

  6. B.... d....

    I like this mixure of classical and modern music

  7. S.... V....

    The begining with Swan Lake is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool!!

  8. F.... ....

    that was a bad roast; bear with me please....

  9. F.... ....

    all I see is my wallpaper.

  10. H.... G....

    This original version has nothing on the live version. Very disappointing.

  11. L.... ....

    i got really happy when i heard tchaikovsky"s swan lake at the start, but when it got all modern and poppy.
    i was gone. skip.

    L.... ....

    +Jayme Sinclair felt the same...

    L.... ....

    It's a good song though :[

    L.... ....

    twat. !

    L.... ....

    I thought OH please it won't be that bad. Then it came on and went WELP YES IT CAN BYE
    Just had to reply to you first hahahha

  12. P.... J....

    Its good at first but the rest sucks. Like a girl having oral sex.

    P.... J....

    +Jeremy Meneely "at first" is classical. "The rest" is... hem.

    P.... J....

    somewhat underrated comment. 1 kek for you, sir.

    P.... J....

    Doesn't that depend on the giver and not the receiver?

    (unless there is some sort of neurological/biological and/or psychiatric complication and she is incapable of pleasure obviously)

    Also how can you dignify that experience, being a man?

    P.... J....

    +Biopunked

    yeah i really don't understand what he's trying to say... i pray we're both just not getting it - but this was years ago so now the prospect of getting closure is surely out the window.

  13. L.... V....

    reminds me of darth vader and swan lake

  14. M.... ....

    The beginning reminds me of Darth Vader's march... haha

    M.... ....

    +Musicmore1000
    I didn't know Darth Vader marched to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet ...

    M.... ....

    @spoukas No, thanks.

    M.... ....

    @spoukas That's why I love his music - 1812, 2nd piano concert, the ballets, ... :-)

    M.... ....

    +spoukas who doesn't

  15. S.... L....

    326. just makes me want to chant !!!! ohww!  Had  my  heart on  a  silver  chain
    With  the  words   engraved :
        " I   Loved  You "

  16. W.... S....

    i see flowers on the wall

  17. T.... A....

    Yep, I can think of someone this song could apply to

  18. �.... �....

    Очень красивая музыка, люди, слушайте ее, а не всякую попсу!

    �.... �....

    Es una hermosa versión del Lago de los Cisnes. Gracias por compartirla!

  20. A.... N....

    Maidenhood is not something you just throw away at the drop of a hat for this very reason.

  24. S.... F....

    This is one of my favorite songs by Blackmore's Night !

  25. K.... H....

    Jim Hall does and excellent jazz version of Swan Lake on his Studio Trieste album.

  26. M.... ....

    It is from the Swan Lake Ballet, try to find it on YT since I'm not allowed to put the direct link in the comment :)

  27. t.... ....

    The classical piece quoted is "Pavane", by Gabriel Faure. Annie Haslam also did a song based on it, called "The Sweetest Kiss."

  28. D.... D....

    Everything this man play is so graceful, it turns to gold... It blows me the way he plays the end of this song... if I don't hold tight to my chair, I can be sucked into the cosmos... Boy !!!... what a trip !!!

  29. L.... S....

    Why does this sound so familiar? Is this a rendition of a classical piece???

    L.... S....

    Libby Skye
    The Lake of the swans, Tchaikovsky

  30. e.... ....

    es una aberrante versión de "el lago de los cisnes", y me gusta el grupo, pero me parece un insulto para los oidos y a la propia idea de la originalidad

    e.... ....

    Totalmente de acuerdo, esto es una charanga de canción. Y digo canción, porque la catalogo como tal gracias al solo final de Blackmore, que es el que da algo de nivel a esta cosa.
