Quicksilver Messenger Service

Pride of Man

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
