Belshazzar

[00:01.12] Well the Bible tells us about a man [00:09.78] Who ruled Babylon and all it's land [00:12.38] Around the city he built a wall [00:14.66] And declared that Babylon would never fall [00:17.13] He had concubines and wives [00:19.73] He called his Babylon "Paradise" [00:21.84] Upon his throne he drank and ate [00:24.17] But for Belshazzer it was getting late [00:26.75] For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting [00:32.79] His kingdom was divided, it couldn't stand [00:37.19] He was weighed in the balance and found wanting [00:42.23] His houses were built upon the sand [00:46.96] Well the people feast and drank their wine [00:55.20] And praised the false gods of his time [00:57.87] All holy things were scorned and mocked [01:00.38] But suddenly all their mocking stopped [01:02.41] For on the wall there appeared a hand [01:04.87] Nothing else, there was no man [01:06.80] And in blood the hand began to write [01:09.45] And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright [01:11.95] For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting [01:17.85] His kingdom was divided, it couldn't stand [01:22.47] He was weighed in the balance and found wanting [01:27.77] His houses were built upon the sand [01:31.94] Well no one around could understand [01:40.07] What was written by the mystic hand [01:42.47] Belshazzar tried but couldn't find [01:44.98] A man who could give him peace of mind [01:47.03] But Daniel the prophet, a man of God [01:49.63] He saw the writing on the wall in blood [01:52.18] Belshazzar asked him what it said [01:54.06] And Daniel turned to the wall and read [01:57.02] "My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting [02:02.67] Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand [02:07.02] You are weighed in the balance and found wanting [02:12.16] Your houses are built upon the sand" [02:17.70]
