About This Song

"The Writing on the Wall" is a haunting reflection on accountability and the fleeting nature of earthly power. It captures the atmosphere of Belshazzar’s feast—the pride, the desecration of the sacred, and the sudden silence that fell when the "fingers of a human hand" appeared. This song serves as a reminder that God sees all and that His Word always has the final say.

Key Themes:

Divine Accountability: The reality that every kingdom and every heart is weighed by God.

The Sovereignty of God: How the Most High rules in the kingdoms of men.

Spiritual Discernment: The need for a "Daniel" to interpret the signs of the times.

Scripture Spotlight: Daniel 5:5

"Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote." This spotlight focuses on the "Lampstand"—God’s truth shining light on the dark deeds of men. "The Writing on the Wall" is a musical call to live a life that, when "weighed in the balances," is found faithful.

📖 LYRICS:


[Verse 1]
Hello hubris, ancient friend
I’ve come to watch an empire end
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its mark while pride was sleeping
And the king who drank from the sacred gold
In a story that has long been told
Within the halls... of Babylon.

[Verse 2]
In restless dreams I walked alone
Beneath the shadow of the throne
Where thousand lords drank deep of wine
And mocked the Holy and Divine
When a finger carved through the candlelight
Splitting open the dark of night
Like a ghost... upon the plaster.

[Chorus]
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin
The weight of your soul is wearing thin
The scales are tipped, the end is near
In the silence of your fear
You are found... wanting.

[Verse 3]
And in the naked light I saw
A hand that wrote without a flaw
Words of judgment, words of gloom
Filling up the banquet room
But the wise men spoke in a tongue of stone
Leaving the King to shake alone
In the hush... of the palace.

[Bridge]
"Fools," said Daniel, "do you know?
The seeds of pride are what you sow."
The writing glows with a holy flame
Calling out the tyrant's name.

[Verse 4]
And the people bowed and prayed
To the idols that their hands had made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the grey light of the morning
And the word said, "The Medes are at the gate,
Tonight your crown will meet its fate."
And it echoed...

In the dust... of Babylon.
