Belshazzer

Well, the bible tells us about a man, who ruled Babylon and all its land

Around the city he built a wall and declared that Babylon would never fall

He had concubines and wives, he called his Babylon Paradise

On his throne he drank and ate, but for Belshazzar it was gettin' late

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His houses were built upon the sand

Well, the people feasted and drank their wine, and praised the false gods of his time

All holy things they scorned and mocked, but suddenly all their mocking stopped

For on the wall there appeared a hand, nothing else there was no man

In blood the hand began to write, and Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His houses were built upon the sand

Well, no one around could understand what was written by the mystic hand

Belshazzar tried but couldn't find a man who could give him peace of mind

But Daniel the prophet, a man of God, he saw the writing on the wall in blood

Belshazzar asked him what it said, and Daniel turned to the wall and read

My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand

You're weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your houses are built upon the sand
