《Belshazzar》歌词

[00:00:02] Belshazzar (live) - Johnny Cash with June Carter Cash

[00:00:30] Well the bible tells us about a man

[00:00:32] Who ruled Babylon and all I'ts land

[00:00:35] Around the city he built a wall

[00:00:37] And declared that Babylon would never fall

[00:00:39] He had concubines and wives

[00:00:41] He called his Babylon "Paradise"

[00:00:44] On his throne he drank and ate

[00:00:46] But for Belshazzar it was gettin' late

[00:00:49] For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:00:54] His kingdom was divided couldn't stand

[00:00:59] He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:01:03] His houses were built upon the sand

[00:01:08] Well the people feasted and drank their wine

[00:01:11] And praised the false gods of his time

[00:01:13] All holy things they scorned and mocked

[00:01:15] But suddenly all their mocking stopped

[00:01:18] For on the wall there appeared a hand

[00:01:20] Nothin' else there was no man

[00:01:22] In blood the hand began to write

[00:01:24] And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright

[00:01:28] For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:01:33] His kingdom was divided couldn't stand

[00:01:37] He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:01:41] His houses were built upon the sand

[00:01:46] Well no one around could understand

[00:01:49] What was written by the mystic hand

[00:01:51] Belshazzar tried but couldn't find

[00:01:53] A man who could give him peace of mind

[00:01:56] But Daniel the prophet a man of God

[00:01:58] He saw the writing on the wall in blood

[00:02:00] Belshazzar asked him what it said

[00:02:02] And Daniel turned to the wall and read:

[00:02:06] "My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:02:10] Your kingdom is divided it can't stand

[00:02:15] You're weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:02:20] Your houses are built upon the sand"
