MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN, fingers wrote this on a wall Ancient doom from long ago...not just a cryptic scrawl - King Belshazzar he did read this...made his knees to quake He was killed that night, now his soul does ache - Belshazzar was the king, the king of Babylon He's dead and burns in Hell, but his children carry on - His Daughter carries on, a verse of Scripture I now site From the Book of Psalms, I'll read it now forthright - The verse is number eight, the chapter one-three-seven "Who art to be destroyed"...this Judgment comes from Heaven - Babylon the ***** Babylon the ***** The Greedy Wanton Daughter, just like Babylon before - Hello USA, look what the fingers write TEKEL! TEKEL!! TEKEL!!! You this does indite {Figure out what "TEKEL" means}
