| [00:06.93] |
Well, the bible tells us about a man |
| [00:09.75] |
Who ruled Babylon and all its land. |
| [00:12.09] |
Around the city, he built a wall |
| [00:14.34] |
And declared that Babylon would never fall. |
| [00:16.95] |
He had concubines and wives, |
| [00:19.29] |
He called his Babylon 'Paradise.' |
| [00:21.72] |
On his throne he drank and ate, |
| [00:23.85] |
but for Belshazar it was gettin' late. |
| [00:27.51] |
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting, |
| [00:32.85] |
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand. |
| [00:37.47] |
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting, |
| [00:42.51] |
His houses were built upon the sand. |
| [00:52.02] |
Well, the people feasted and drank their wine |
| [00:54.69] |
And praised the false gods of his time. |
| [00:57.24] |
All holy things they scorned and mocked, |
| [00:59.37] |
But suddenly all their mocking stopped. |
| [01:01.89] |
For on the wall, there appeared a hand, |
| [01:04.35] |
Nothin' else, there was no man. |
| [01:06.57] |
In blood the hand began to write, |
| [01:09.09] |
And Belshazar couldn't hide his fright. |
| [01:12.45] |
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting, |
| [01:17.85] |
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand. |
| [01:22.38] |
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting, |
| [01:27.39] |
His houses were built upon the sand. |
| [01:36.87] |
Well, no one around could understand |
| [01:39.57] |
What was written by the mystic hand. |
| [01:41.79] |
Belshazar tried, but couldn't find |
| [01:44.19] |
A man who could give him peace of mind. |
| [01:46.59] |
But Daniel, the prophet, a man of God, |
| [01:49.02] |
He saw the writing on the wall in blood. |
| [01:51.21] |
Belshazar asked him what it said, |
| [01:53.76] |
And Daniel turned to the wall and read: |
| [01:57.21] |
'My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting, |
| [02:02.49] |
Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand. |
| [02:07.26] |
You're weighed in the balance and found wanting, |
| [02:12.12] |
Your houses are built upon the sand.' |
