The Sacred Shakers

The Sacred Shakers - Belshazzar lyrics

rate me

Well, the Bible tells us about a man

Who ruled Babylon and all its land

Around the city he built the wall

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 Belshazzar it was getting late

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, it can’t stand

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His castles were built upon the sand

Well, the people feasted and drank their wine

And praised the false gods of their 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 Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright

For he’d been weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, it can’t stand

Yes, he’d been weighed in the balance and found wanting

His castles were built upon the sand

Well, no one around could understand

What was written by the mystic hand

Belshazzar tried, he couldn't find

A man who could give him piece of mind

But Daniel, the prophet, a man of God

He saw the writing on the wall in blood

Belshazzar asked him what it said

And Daniel turned to the wall and read

"You’ve been weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand

You've been weighed in the balance and found wanting

Your castles are built upon the sand"
