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 belshazar it was gettin late
for he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided
Couldnt 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
Nothin else
There was no man
In blood the hand began to write
And belshazar couldnt hide his fright
for he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided
Couldnt 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
Belshazar tried
But couldnt 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
Belshazar asked him what it said
And daniel turned to the wall and read
"my friend
Youre weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your kingdom is divided
It cant stand
Youre weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your houses are built upon the sand"
