    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 Belshazah 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 Belshazah couldn't hide his fright
    For 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
    Belshazah 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
    Belshazah 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
