Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,

Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
Am	      D	          F		E
and behold in 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
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.
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	            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

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.
