Bb Bb
while the people feasted and drank their wine, and praised the false gods of his time
Bb C
all holy things they scorned and mocked, when suddenly all their mocking stopped
Bb Bb
for on the wall there appeared a hand, nothing else there was no man
Bb C Bb
in blood the hand began to write, and belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
Bb C Bb
for he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Bb C
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
Bb C Bb
he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Bb Bb
His houses were built upon the sand

last verse is:
no one around could understand what was written by the mystic hand
belshazzar tried but he couldn't find, a man who could give him peace of mind
then daniel, the prophet, a man of god, he saw the writing on the wall in blood
belshazzar asked him what'd it said, and daniel turned to the wall and read
*chorus*
and thats all.
-el berto
