Turn around go back down go back the way you came |
|
Can't you see the 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 go back the way you came |
|
Babylon is laid to waste egypt's buried in her shame |
|
Their mighty men are beaten down the kings are fallen in the ways |
|
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again |
|
Turn around go back down go back the way you came |
|
Terror is on everyside though the leaders are dismayed |
|
Those who put their faith in fire in fire their faith shall be repaid |
|
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again |
|
Turn around go back down go 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 |
|
It shall cause thy towers to fall and make it be a pyre of flame |
|
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again |
|
Thou that dwell on many water rich in treasure wide in fame |
|
Bow unto a god of gold thy pride of might shall be thy shame |
|
Oh god the pride of man broken in the dust again |
|
And only god can lead the people back into the faith again |
|
Thy holy mountain be restored thy mercy on thy people lord |
