last verse is:
no one around could understand what was written by the mystic hand
belshazzar tried but he couldn't find, a man who could give him peace of mind
then daniel, the prophet, a man of god, he saw the writing on the wall in blood
belshazzar asked him what'd it said, and daniel turned to the wall and read
*chorus*

He called his Babylon "Paradise"

Upon his throne he drank and ate

But for Belshazzer it was getting late

His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E A
His houses were built upon the sand
[Verse 2]

Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
E
And praised the false gods of his time

All holy things were scorned and mocked

Suddenly all their mocking stopped
A
For on the wall there appeared a hand
E
Nothing else, there was no man
A
In blood the hand began to write
E A
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

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E A
His houses were built upon the sand

What was written by the mystic hand
Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
E A
A man who could give him peace of mind
Daniel the prophet, a man of God
E A
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
Belshazzar asked him what it said
E A
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
[Chorus]

My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
E
Your kingdom was divided, it can't stand
A
You are weighed in the balance and found wanting
E A
Your houses were built upon the sand
