Well, the bible tells us about a man Who ruled Babylon and all its land Around the city, he built a wall 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 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
