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 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

Nothin' else there was no man

In blood the hand began to write

And Belshazar 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

Belshazar 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

Belshazar 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 '
