Pride Of Man
Gordon Lightfoot Turn around go back down go back the way you came Can't you see the flash of fire ten times brighter than the day Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again And behold the mighty city broken in the dust again Babylon is laid to waste Egypt's buried in her shame Turn around go back down go back the way you came Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again Their mighty men are beaten down the kings are fallen in the ways Terror is on everyside though the leaders are dismayed Turn around go back down go back the way you came Those who put their faith in fire in fire their faith shall be repaid Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised Turn around go back down go back the way you came On Babylon that mighty city rich in treasure wide in fame Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame Thou that dwell on many water rich in treasure wide in fame Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again Bow unto a god of gold thy pride of might shall be thy shame And only God can lead the people back into the faith again Thy holy mountain be restored thy mercy on thy people Lord |
