Belshazzar

Well, the bible tells us about a man

Who ruled Babylon and all it's land

Around the city..

Well, the bible tells us about a man

Who ruled Babylon and all it's land

Around the city, he built a wall

Declared that Babylon would never fall

He had (??) and wives

He called his Babylon Paradise

On his throne he drank and ate

But for Belshezaar it was gettin' late

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, it could not 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

Praised the false gods of their time

Holy things they scorned and mocked

Suddenly all their mocking stopped

For on the wall, there appeared a hand

Nothin' else, there was no man

In blood the hand began to write

And Belshezaar couldn't hide his fright

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, it could not stand

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His houses were built upon the sand

Well, no one around could understand

Just what was written by this mystic hand

Belshezaar tried, he couldn't find

A man who could give him some peace of mind

Daniel, the prophet, a man of God

He saw the writing on the wall in blood

Belshezaar asked him what it said

And Daniel turned to the wall and read

You are weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your kingdom is divided, it cannot stand

You are weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your houses are built upon the sand
