Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Old King Belshazzar demanded

"What's this on the wall?"

On the wall

Red-handed

[PreChorus]

So Daniel, he said

The words as he read

As well as he could

And he understood

[Chorus]

And the king don't lie

There's a king on high, on high

And the king don't lie

[Verse 2]

What don't kill you

Almost killed you

What don't fill you

Pains you

Drains you

[PreChorus]

The plague of our year

The Black Death is here

Your silence a stain

The marking of Cain

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

There's a flood of flame

And it calls your name

There's a king on high

And the king don't lie
