Lyrics Pride of Man - Quicksilver Messenger Service

Turn around go back down
Back the way you came
Cant you see that flash of fire
10 times brighter then 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
Egypts 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 soward of god is raised
Get babylon backed by its city
Rich in treasure wide in fame
OH GOD, pride of man
Broken in the dust again
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh oh ohhh
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 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 mounatin be restored
And mercy on the people
The people
Ahhhhhhh ahhhh
