Belshazzar
Johnny cashAround 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
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
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
Ao redor da cidade ele construiu uma parede e declarou que a Babilônia nunca cairá
Ele tinha concubinas e esposas que ele chamou de Paraíso de Belsazar
Em seu trono ele bebeu e comeu, mas para Belsazar estava chegando tarde
Pois ele foi pesado no equilíbrio e achou querer
Seu reino estava dividido não poderia suportar
Ele foi pesado no equilíbrio e encontrou
Querendo que suas casas fossem construídas sobre a areia
Bem, as pessoas se divertiam e beberam seus vinhos e louvaram os deuses falsos de seu tempo
Todas as coisas sagradas que eles desprezaram e zombaram, mas, de repente, todas as suas burlas pararam
Pois na parede apareceu uma mão nada mais, não havia homem
No sangue, a mão começou a escrever e Belsazar não conseguiu esconder seu susto
Pois ele foi pesado no equilíbrio e encontrado
Querendo que suas casas fossem construídas sobre a areia
Bem, ninguém ao redor poderia entender o que estava escrito pela mão mística
Belsazar tentou, mas não conseguiu encontrar um homem que pudesse dar-lhe paz de espírito
Mas Daniel, o profeta, um homem de Deus, viu a escrita na parede no sangue
Belsazar perguntou-lhe o que disse e Daniel virou-se para a parede e leu
Meu amigo, você está pesado no equilíbrio e achou querer
Seu reino está dividido, não pode suportar
Você é pesado no equilíbrio e encontrou
Querendo que suas casas sejam construídas sobre a areia
