Shawn Phillips - Pride Of Man lyrics
Your rating:
Turn around, go back down Back the way you came Don't you see that flash of fire Ten times brighter than the day And behold the mighty city Broken in the dust again Oh God, the pride of man Broken in the dust again Turn around, go back down Back the way you came Babylon is layed to waste Egypt's buried in her shame The mighty men are beaten down Their kings are fallen by the ways Oh God, the pride of man Broken in the dust again Turn around, go back down Back the way you came Terrorism, every side Though the leaders are dismayed Those who put their faith in fire In fire their faith shall be repayed Oh God, the pride of man Broken in the dust again Turn around, go back down Back the way you came Shout the warnin' to the nations That the sword of God is raised Against Babylon that mighty city Rich in treasure, white in fame Oh God, the pride of man Broken in the dust again It shall cause my power to fall And make them be a pyre of flame Thou that dwell on many waters Rich in treasure, white in fame Thy holy mound on be restored Have mercy on my grave, O Lord Oh God, the pride of man Broken in the dust again
