[Verse 1]
Well the Bible tells 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"
Upon his throne he drank and ate
But for Belshazzar it was getting late
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Well the people feasted and drank their wine
And praised the false gods of his time
All holy things were scorned and mocked
Suddenly all their mocking stopped
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
