Pride Of Man Lyrics - Quicksilver Messenger Service - Quicksilver Messenger Service

Turn around go back down 

Back the way you came 

Can't you see that flash of fire 

10 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 

Their mighty men are all beaten down 

Their kings are all fallin' 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 ever sign 

Though our leaders are dismayed 

All those who place their faith in fire 

In fire their fate 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 to the nation 

That the sword of God is raised 

Yes, Babylon backed by it's city 

Rich in treasure wide in fame 

Oh God, pride of man 

Broken in the dust again 

And it shall cause your tower to fall 

Make of you a pyre of flame 

Oh, you who dwell on many waters 

Rich in treasure wide in fame 

You bow unto your, 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 

Our holy mountain be restored 

And mercy on that people 

That people
