You were strictly tested — Mene Tekel Ufarsan —
as you long contested in your assigned span.
You’ve freely partaken in the game of life,
tasted joys and sorrows, peacefulness and strife.
Now at last, I’m finding you have failed the test,
Mene Tekel Ufarsan, no more are you blest.
Your million years are ended, the future is foregone,
you won’t be defended, Mene Tekel Ufarsan.
