Belshazah Songtext

Belshazah Übersetzung
Well the bible tells us about a man who ruled Babylon and all its land Around the city he built a wall and 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 Belshazah it was gettin' late For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting His kingdom was divided couldn't stand He was weighed in the balance and found Wanting his houses were built upon the sand [ guitar ] Well the people feasted and drank their wine and praised the false gods of his 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 Belshazah couldn't hide his fright For he was weighed in the balance and found Wanting his houses were built upon the sand [ guitar ] Well no one around could understand what was written by the mystic hand Belshazah tried but couldn't find a man who could give him peace of mind But Daniel the prophet a man of God he saw the writing on the wall in blood Belshazah asked him what it said and Daniel turned to the wall and read My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting Your kingdom is divided it can't stand You're weighed in the balance and found Wanting your houses are built upon the sand
