Pride of Man [German translation]

Turn around, go back down

Back the way you came

Can't you see that flash of fire

Ten times brighter then the day

And behold a 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 are fallin' in the ways

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 sign

Though our leaders are dismayed

All those who place their faith in fire

In fire their fate shall be repaid

Oh god, the pride of man

Broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down

Back the way you came

And 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 tower to fall

And make of thee a pyre of flame

Oh, those that dwell on many waters

Rich in treasure, wide in fame

That bow unto a god of gold

That pride of might shall be their shame

Oh god, the pride of man

Broken in the dust again

And only god can lead the people

Back into the earth again

Thy holy mountain be restored

And mercy on the people, Lord
