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}
