Version 1
[Verse 1]
Am D F E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Am D F E
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
Am D F E
and behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Am C D E Am C D E Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again
[Verse 2]
Am D F E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came
Am D F E
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
Am D F E
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the waste,
Am C D E Am C D E Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
[Verse 3]
Am D F E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Am D F E
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
Am D F E
For those who place their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid,
Am C D E Am C D E Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
[Verse 4]
Am D F E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Am D F E
And shout a warning to the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Am D F E
Against, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Am C D E Am C D E Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

[Verse 5]
Am D F E
The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make of you a pyre of flame,
Am D F E
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
Am D F E
You bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be your shame,
Am D F E
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.
Am C D E Am C D E Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
[Outro]
Am D F E
Thy holy mountain be restored, have mercy on thy people, thy people,
Am C D E Am C D E Am
Lord
