The Writing On The Wall
Walber Costa
The writing on the wall
Four simple words, on a broken wall
Four simple words carved in the light
On shattered stone in the dead of night
A king stood tall, but fear took his breath
As heaven's hand spelled out his death
A trembling voice, a silent cry
The weight of truth no gold can buy
A feast of pride, a hollow crown
While unseen fingers wrote him down
In the flicker of the flame
No one there to take the blame
Oh, can you see it now?
The writing on the wall
When kingdoms rise in fire
They're only built to fall
Oh, hear the warning call
Through every rise and fall
The hand that shapes the stars
Is writing on the wall
A ghostly hand in sacred flame
Calling out a ruler's name
No army strong, no shield, no throne
Could stand before what God has shown
The silence broke, the laughter died
As truth cut deep through ancient pride
A kingdom weighed, a life undone
The final hour had just begun
In the shadow of the night
Truth appears in blinding light
Oh, can you see it now?
The writing on the wall
When empires chase their glory
They're only set to fall
Oh, hear the warning call
Through every rise and fall
The king above all kings
Is writing on the wall
The days are numbered
You've been weighed inside
The kingdom divided
No place left to hide
Oh, can you see it now?
The writing on the wall
No power stands forever
No empire stands at all
Oh, hear the final call
Before the mighty fall
The voice that rules the heavens
Is writing on the wall
Four simple words, still echo through it all
The writing, on the wall
