Belshazzar (live) - Johnny Cash with June Carter Cash[00:00:02]

Well the bible tells us about a man[00:00:30]

Who ruled Babylon and all I'ts land[00:00:32]

Around the city he built a wall[00:00:35]

And declared that Babylon would never fall[00:00:37]

He had concubines and wives[00:00:39]

He called his Babylon "Paradise"[00:00:41]

On his throne he drank and ate[00:00:44]

But for Belshazzar it was gettin' late[00:00:46]

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:00:49]

His kingdom was divided couldn't stand[00:00:54]

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:00:59]

His houses were built upon the sand[00:01:03]

Well the people feasted and drank their wine[00:01:08]

And praised the false gods of his time[00:01:11]

All holy things they scorned and mocked[00:01:13]

But suddenly all their mocking stopped[00:01:15]

For on the wall there appeared a hand[00:01:18]

Nothin' else there was no man[00:01:20]

In blood the hand began to write[00:01:22]

And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright[00:01:24]

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:01:28]

His kingdom was divided couldn't stand[00:01:33]

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:01:37]

His houses were built upon the sand[00:01:41]

Well no one around could understand[00:01:46]

What was written by the mystic hand[00:01:49]

Belshazzar tried but couldn't find[00:01:51]

A man who could give him peace of mind[00:01:53]

But Daniel the prophet a man of God[00:01:56]

He saw the writing on the wall in blood[00:01:58]

Belshazzar asked him what it said[00:02:00]

And Daniel turned to the wall and read:[00:02:02]

"My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:02:06]

Your kingdom is divided it can't stand[00:02:10]

You're weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:02:15]

Your houses are built upon the sand"[00:02:20]
