#### HANDWRITING ON THE WALL

I

THE KING MADE A FEAST FOR A BANQUET,
INVITED ALL HIS MEN SHOULD COME AND PLAY.
BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE THE NIGHT WAS OVER
THAT THE KINGDOM THAT HE HELD WOULD PASS WAY.
AS THE CROWD BEGAN TO ROAR IN A DRUNKEN' SLUMBER
A WORRIED LOOK SOON TOOK HIS TIME AWAY.
AS HE LOOKED HE SAID BEHOLD I SEE A FINGER
AND IT'S WRITING ON THE WALL AGAIN TODAY.

II

NOW THE WORLD'S GETTING CLOSER TO DESTRUCTION.
AS YOU WALK THE STREET YOU HEAR THE WORD DOOMS DAY.
NOW WE ALL KNOW THAT SOMETHING'S SOON TO HAPPEN.
BUT THE WICKED MEN REFUSE TO STOP AND PRAY.
SOON THEIR LAUGHTER WILL ONE DAY TURN TO MORNING
AND THEIR CRY FOR HELP WILL BE HEARD FAR AWAY.
AND LIKE THE KING WHEN HE FINALLY SAW THE MESSAGE,
IT WAS THEN HE REALIZED HE'D WAITED TOO LATE.

CHORUS

THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL CAN'T YOU SEE IT.
THE MESSAGE TELLS THE STORY AGAIN TODAY.
DON'T BE WADE IN THE BALANCE AND FOUND WANTING.
DON'T TURN DOWN THE TRUTH FOR TODAY.
I SENT YOU WARNING AND NOW I'M SENDING JUDGEMENT.
ON A NATION THAT'S FORGOTTEN HOW TO PRAY.
AND THERE'S NO WAY TO ERASE IT.
THE HANDWRITING'S ON THE WALL AGAIN TODAY.
