Pride Of Man
Composer(s): Hamilton Camp
Performer(s): Quicksilver Messenger Service



Turn around
go back down
back the way you came
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again

Turn around
go back down
back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again

Turn around
go back down
back the way you came
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed
For theose who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be repayed
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again

Turn around
go back down
back the way you came
And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again

The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make a new pyre of flame
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame
you bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again

Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again
A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people...
