All holy things, they scorned and mocked
E7 A
But suddenly, all their mocking stopped

For on the wall, there appeared a hand
A
Nothing else, there was no man
A
In blood, the hand began to write

And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
[Chorus]

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

What was written by the mystic hand

Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
E7 A
A man who could give him peace of mind
A
But Daniel the prophet, a man of God
A
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
A
Belshazzar asked him what it said
E7 A
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
[Chorus]
A
"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
E7 A
Your houses are built upon the sand"
