The king awoke in a terrible state from a vision of the night






Said, “Tell me my dream and tell me what it means and you can keep your life”







Daniel said, “You dreamed O King, of a man with golden head
Shoulders of silver, torso of bronze and he stood on iron legs
And a stone not made of human hand rolled that statue all away
‘Cause the feet that statue stood upon were made of iron mixed with clay”

Seventy weeks of seven years 
Take away transgression tears
Your deeds atone and right enthrone
And seal up all the visions to the prophets have been shown


The head that’s the lion of Babylon, The 








shoulders, Persian bear








The torso is the leopard, heading east from its Aegean lair







The legs the Trojan refugees ensconced in Roman soil
Their horse remade with iron jaws the nations to despoil








And the Babylonian harlot she’s heading westward for the feast
She’ll drink the blood of nations as she nestles in that beast

Seventy weeks of seven years 
Take away transgression tears
Your deeds atone and right enthrone
And seal up all the visions to the prophets have been shown


Seven weeks of seven til the temple rises on the hill that Zion climbs
And walls and streets and trenches will be built in troubled times
Then sixty-two weeks til the chosen one will be cut off in his prime
And the iron beast will destroy my cityh
Without reason and without rhyme
And my chosen ones will be forced to flee to what refuge they can find
To famine, war and pestilence til they return in my own time

Seventy weeks of seven years 
Take away transgression tears
Your deeds atone and right enthrone
And seal up all the visions to the prophets have been shown
