Belshazzar - Johnny Cash[00:00:01]
Well the bible tells us about a man[00:00:07]
Who ruled babylon and all its land[00:00:09]
Around the city he built a wall[00:00:12]
And declared that babylon would never fall[00:00:14]
He had concubines and wives[00:00:17]
He called his babylon paradise[00:00:19]
On his throne he drank and ate[00:00:20]
But for belshazar it was getting late[00:00:24]
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:00:27]
His kingdom was divided couldn't stand[00:00:31]
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:00:37]
His houses were built upon the sand[00:00:42]
Well the people feasted and drank their wine[00:00:52]
And praised the false gods of his time[00:00:55]
All holy things they scorned and mocked[00:00:57]
But suddenly all their mocking stopped[00:00:59]
For on the wall there appeared a hand[00:01:02]
Nothing else there was no man[00:01:04]
In blood the hand began to write[00:01:06]
And Belshazar couldn't hide his fright[00:01:08]
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:01:12]
His kingdom was divided couldn't stand[00:01:17]
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:01:22]
His houses were built upon the sand[00:01:27]
Well no one around could understand[00:01:37]
What was written by the mystic hand[00:01:38]
Belshazar tried but couldn't find[00:01:42]
A man who could give him peace of mind[00:01:44]
But daniel the prophet a man of God[00:01:46]
He saw the writing on the wall in blood[00:01:49]
Belshazar asked him what it said[00:01:51]
And daniel turned to the wall and read[00:01:53]
My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:01:57]
Your kingdom is divided it can't stand[00:02:01]
You're weighed in the balance and found wanting[00:02:07]
Your houses are built upon the sand[00:02:12]
