Bbwell the bible tells us about a man, who ruled Bbbabylon and all its land
Bbaround the a city he built a wall, and declaCred that babylon would never fall
Bbhe had concubines and wives, he calledBb his babylon paradise
Bbupon his throne he drank and ate, but for beClshazzar it was getting lateBb
Bbfor he was weighed in theC balance and found wantinBbg
BbHis kingdom was divided, couldn'Ct stand
Bb he was weighed in the baClance and found wanting Bb
BbHis houses were built upBbon the sand

Bbwhile the people feasted and drank their wine, Bband praised the false gods of his time
Bball holy things they scorned and mocked, wheCn suddenly all their mocking stopped
Bbfor on the wall there appeared a hand,Bb nothing else there was no man
Bbin blood the hand began to write, and belshaCzzar couldn't hide his frighBbt
Bbfor he was weighed in theC balance and found wantinBbg
BbHis kingdom was divided, couldn'Ct stand
Bb he was weighed in the baClance and found wanting Bb
BbHis houses were built upBbon the sand

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*
and thats all.
