The King

Old King Belshazzar demanded "What's this on the wall?" On the wall Red-handed So Daniel, he said The words as he read As well as he could And he understood And the king don't lie There's a king on high, on high And the king don't lie What don't kill you Almost killed you What don't fill you Pains you Drains you The plague of our year The Black Death is here Your silence a stain The marking of Cain There's a king on high And the king don't lie There's a king on high, on high And the king don't lie There's a flood of flame And it calls your name There's a king on high And the king don't lie
