[00:06.93]Well, the bible tells us about a man
[00:09.75]Who ruled Babylon and all its land.
[00:12.09]Around the city, he built a wall
[00:14.34]And declared that Babylon would never fall.
[00:16.95]He had concubines and wives,
[00:19.29]He called his Babylon 'Paradise.'
[00:21.72]On his throne he drank and ate,
[00:23.85]but for Belshazar it was gettin' late.
[00:27.51]For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
[00:32.85]His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand.
[00:37.47]He was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
[00:42.51]His houses were built upon the sand.
[00:52.02]Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
[00:54.69]And praised the false gods of his time.
[00:57.24]All holy things they scorned and mocked,
[00:59.37]But suddenly all their mocking stopped.
[01:01.89]For on the wall, there appeared a hand,
[01:04.35]Nothin' else, there was no man.
[01:06.57]In blood the hand began to write,
[01:09.09]And Belshazar couldn't hide his fright.
[01:12.45]For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
[01:17.85]His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand.
[01:22.38]He was weighed in the balance and found wanting,
[01:27.39]His houses were built upon the sand.
[01:36.87]Well, no one around could understand
[01:39.57]What was written by the mystic hand.
[01:41.79]Belshazar tried, but couldn't find
[01:44.19]A man who could give him peace of mind.
[01:46.59]But Daniel, the prophet, a man of God,
[01:49.02]He saw the writing on the wall in blood.
[01:51.21]Belshazar asked him what it said,
[01:53.76]And Daniel turned to the wall and read:
[01:57.21]'My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting,
[02:02.49]Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand.
[02:07.26]You're weighed in the balance and found wanting,
[02:12.12]Your houses are built upon the sand.'
