Lyrics To Writing On The Wall
"The Writing on the Wall" is the first official Iron Maiden song released after 2015's The Book of Souls and it is the first single off their seventeenth album, Senjutsu.
The song and its video have been anticipated by the band through a marketing campaign spanning July 2021 that involved the daily release of the cover artwork of one of their previous album, engraved with small and hidden signs pointing to the new single, such as the acronym "WOTW" or "TWOTW" (which obviously stands for "The Writing on the Wall").
The video clip has been directed by Nicos Livesey and produced by his BlinkInk, a young, London-based animation studio. The creative direction of the video started from a Bruce Dickinson concept and was lead by veteran Pixar Animation Studio artist and director Mark Andrews, alongside ex-Pixar animator Andrew Gordon.
Dickinson's lyrics for the song and the concept of the video were inspired by the biblical stories of Belshazzar's feast, narrated in Chapter V of the Book of Daniel, mixed with Book of Genesis' Adam and Eve and Book of Revelation's Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Director Nicos Livesay said:
I wanted to harness the old Derek Riggs album artworks as much as possible and infuse it with some old school cartoon vibes […] all wrapped up in a lot of messages about greed and the destruction of the planet, with the top one-percenters sitting in their shiny castles, leaving everyone else outside to rot on a dying planet. It's meant to be pretty on the nose about the current planetary situation.
The clip also marked the debut of Senjutsu's Samurai version of Eddie the Head. The digital rendering of the character has been made by "wizard of CG Balázs Simon", as once again stated by Livesey.
