about

This is a great song of social conscience by Hamilton Camp.

lyrics

Pride of Man

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 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 laid to waste
Egypt's buried in her shame
Their mighty men are all beaten down
Their kings have fallen by the way
Oh God, the pride of man
Broken in the dust again

Turn around go back down
Back the way you came
Terror is on every side
Though our leaders are dismayed
But those who place their faith in fire
In fire their faith will be repaid
Oh God, pride of man
Broken in the dust again

Turn around go back down
Back the way you came
shout a warning to the nations
That the sword of God is raised
On Babylon that mighty city
Rich in treasure wide in fame
Oh God, the pride of man
Broken in the dust again
