The Writing On The Wall

The writing on the wall
Four simple words, on a broken wall

Four simple words carved in the light
On shattered stone in the dead of night
A king stood tall, but fear took his breath
As heaven's hand spelled out his death

A trembling voice, a silent cry
The weight of truth no gold can buy
A feast of pride, a hollow crown
While unseen fingers wrote him down

In the flicker of the flame
No one there to take the blame

Oh, can you see it now?
The writing on the wall
When kingdoms rise in fire
They're only built to fall

Oh, hear the warning call
Through every rise and fall
The hand that shapes the stars
Is writing on the wall

A ghostly hand in sacred flame
Calling out a ruler's name
No army strong, no shield, no throne
Could stand before what God has shown

The silence broke, the laughter died
As truth cut deep through ancient pride
A kingdom weighed, a life undone
The final hour had just begun

In the shadow of the night
Truth appears in blinding light

Oh, can you see it now?
The writing on the wall
When empires chase their glory
They're only set to fall

Oh, hear the warning call
Through every rise and fall
The king above all kings
Is writing on the wall

The days are numbered
You've been weighed inside
The kingdom divided
No place left to hide

Oh, can you see it now?
The writing on the wall
No power stands forever
No empire stands at all

Oh, hear the final call
Before the mighty fall
The voice that rules the heavens
Is writing on the wall

Four simple words, still echo through it all
The writing, on the wall
