Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
and behold in 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,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the waste,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For those who place their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid,
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.
Against, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again. Guitar solo
The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make of you a pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
You bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be your shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
That Holy mountain be restored, and must see you that people, that people,
