Belshazah

Well the bible tells us about a man who ruled Babylon and all its landAround the city he built a wall and declared that Babylon would never fallHe had concubines and wives he called his Babylon ParadiseOn his throne he drank and ate but for Belshazah it was gettin' lateFor he was weighed in the balance and found wantingHis kingdom was divided couldn't standHe was weighed in the balance and foundWanting his houses were built upon the sand[ guitar ]Well the people feasted and drank their wine and praised the false gods of his timeAll holy things they scorned and mocked but suddenly all their mocking stoppedFor on the wall there appeared a hand nothing else there was no manIn blood the hand began to write and Belshazah couldn't hide his frightFor he was weighed in the balance and foundWanting his houses were built upon the sand[ guitar ]Well no one around could understand what was written by the mystic handBelshazah tried but couldn't find a man who could give him peace of mindBut Daniel the prophet a man of God he saw the writing on the wall in bloodBelshazah asked him what it said and Daniel turned to the wall and readMy friend you're weighed in the balance and found wantingYour kingdom is divided it can't standYou're weighed in the balance and foundWanting your houses are built upon the sand
