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 Belshazzar 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, nothing else there was no man
In blood the hand began to write, and Belshazzar 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
Belshazzar 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
Belshazzar 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
