Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

Well, the bible tells us about a man
Who ruled Babylon and all its land
Around the city, he built a wall
And declared that Babylon would never fall
He had concubines and wives
He called his Babylon "Paradise" 
On his throne he drank and ate 
But for Belshazzar it was gettin' late 

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
His houses were built upon the sand

Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
And praised the false gods of his time
All holy things they scorned and mocked 
But suddenly all their mocking stopped 
For on the wall, there appeared a hand 
Nothin' else, there was no man
In blood the hand began to write 
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright 

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
His houses were built upon the sand

Well, no one around could understand
What was written by the mystic hand
Belshazzar tried, but couldn't find
A man who could give him peace of mind 
But Daniel, the prophet, a man of God 
He saw the writing on the wall in blood 
Belshazzar asked him what it said 
And Daniel turned to the wall and read: 

"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
Your houses are built upon the sand"
