Testo Belshazzar - Bob Dylan
Testo della canzone Belshazzar (Bob Dylan), tratta dall'album The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 11 (Deluxe Edition)
Well, the bible tells us about a man
Who ruled Babylon and all its land
Around the city
Well, the bible tells us about a man
Who ruled Babylon and all its land
'Round the city, he built a wall
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
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided, it could not 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
Praised the false gods of their time
Holy things they scorned and mocked
Suddenly all their mocking stopped
For on the wall, there appeared a hand
Nothing else, there was no man
In blood, the hand began to write
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided, it could not stand
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His houses were built upon the sand
Well, no one around could understand
Just what was written by this mystic hand
Belshazzar tried, he couldn't find
A man who could give him some peace of mind
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
You are weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your kingdom is divided, it cannot stand
You are weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your houses are built upon the sand
