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 |
