What are these mysterious words
Who knows what exactly they could mean
They were inscribed by a ghostly hand
They could be sacred or obscene
Is it all gibberish or something to fear
Who's to know, who's to know
Is it graffiti or a sign that the end is near
A horror show
Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin
That's what the writing said
Flame out the living words of the dead
Written in red
Who will dare to judge me by my acts
Have they lived a life that's pure and good
If they think I'm a cruel-hearted king
Then I am clearly quite misunderstood
Is it a warning or is it nonsense
Who's to say, who's to say
Is it a forecast or scribbles on a fence
It's Judgment Day
Who dare to accuse of me high crime
Who goes there yes who goes there a-haunting
Who hands down a sentence from on high
To be weighed and to be found a-wanting
Does pride come before a fall
Who's to gauge, who's to gauge
Is the writing really on the wall
Who's the sage
