《Belshazzar》歌词

[00:00:00] Belshazzar - Johnny Cash

[00:00:06] Well the bible tells us about a man

[00:00:09] Who ruled babylon and all its land

[00:00:12] Around the city he built a wall

[00:00:14] And declared that babylon would never fall

[00:00:16] He had concubines and wives

[00:00:19] He called his babylon paradise

[00:00:21] On his throne he drank and ate

[00:00:24] But for belshazar it was getting late

[00:00:27] For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:00:32] His kingdom was divided couldn't stand

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

[00:00:42] His houses were built upon the sand

[00:00:51] Well the people feasted and drank their wine

[00:00:54] And praised the false gods of his time

[00:00:57] All holy things they scorned and mocked

[00:00:59] But suddenly all their mocking stopped

[00:01:02] For on the wall there appeared a hand

[00:01:04] Nothing else there was no man

[00:01:06] In blood the hand began to write

[00:01:08] And Belshazar couldn't hide his fright

[00:01:12] For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:01:17] His kingdom was divided couldn't stand

[00:01:22] He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:01:27] His houses were built upon the sand

[00:01:36] Well no one around could understand

[00:01:39] What was written by the mystic hand

[00:01:41] Belshazar tried but couldn't find

[00:01:44] A man who could give him peace of mind

[00:01:46] But daniel the prophet a man of God

[00:01:49] He saw the writing on the wall in blood

[00:01:51] Belshazar asked him what it said

[00:01:53] And daniel turned to the wall and read

[00:01:57] My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting

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

[00:02:07] You're weighed in the balance and found wanting

[00:02:12] Your houses are built upon the sand
