[00:00.00]Belshazzar - Johnny Cash with June Carter Cash/The Carter Sisters
[00:30.07]Well the bible tells us about a man
[00:32.80]Who ruled Babylon and all It's land
[00:35.12]Around the city he built a wall
[00:37.11]And declared that Babylon would never fall
[00:39.69]He had concubines and wives
[00:41.89]He called his Babylon "Paradise"
[00:44.20]On his throne he drank and ate
[00:46.41]But for Belshazzar it was gettin' late
[00:49.86]For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
[00:54.73]His kingdom was divided couldn't stand
[00:59.35]He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
[01:03.86]His houses were built upon the sand
[01:08.47]Well the people feasted and drank their wine
[01:11.22]And praised the false gods of his time
[01:13.48]All holy things they scorned and mocked
[01:15.59]But suddenly all their mocking stopped
[01:18.02]For on the wall there appeared a hand
[01:20.24]Nothin' else there was no man
[01:22.30]In blood the hand began to write
[01:24.50]And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
[01:28.14]For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
[01:33.28]His kingdom was divided couldn't stand
[01:37.59]He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
[01:41.99]His houses were built upon the sand
[01:46.95]Well no one around could understand
[01:49.00]What was written by the mystic hand
[01:51.64]Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
[01:53.76]A man who could give him peace of mind
[01:56.08]But Daniel the prophet a man of God
[01:58.27]He saw the writing on the wall in blood
[02:00.75]Belshazzar asked him what it said
[02:02.75]And Daniel turned to the wall and read:
[02:06.15]"My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
[02:10.94]Your kingdom is divided it can't stand
[02:15.56]You're weighed in the balance and found wanting
[02:20.20]Your houses are built upon the sand"
