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, PRIDE OF MAN
broken in the dust again
Turn around, go back down
back the way you came
Babylon is laid to waste
egypts buried in her shame
Their mighty men are all beaten down
Their kings are all fallin' in the ways
OH GOD, pride of man
broken in the dust again
Turn around, go back down
back the way you came
terror is on ever sign
though our leaders are dismayed
all those who place their faith in fire
in fire their fate shall be repayed
OH GOD, pride of man
broken in the dust again
Turn around, go back down
back the way you came
and shout a warning to the nation
that the soward of god is raised
get Babylon backed by its city
rich in treasure wide in fame
OH GOD, pride of man
broken in the dust again
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
oh oh ohhh
And it shall cause your tower to fall
make of you a pyre of flame
oh you who dwell on many waters
rich in treasure wide in fame
you bow unto your god of gold
your pride of might shall be a shame
for only god can lead his people
back unto the earth again
OH GOD, Pride of man
broken in the dust again
Our holy mountain be restored
and mercy on the people
the people
ahhhhhhh ahhhh

I wanted to tear it up but was told no, so what, have my most important person in the world called up into battle for tRump? fuck that
Surely this website isn't legit? "This service is not endorsed by or affiliated with any United States government agency or the United States military. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice."
Why would anyone want to pay $2.50 a month for "Draft Watch" early warning system when there hasn't been a draft since 1973?
Rip it up, my friend. Legal obligations are a different kettle of fish, though.

Go read kurtster's post for a stronger understanding of the times. This may be stuck in the 60s but it had a sincere message about the failures of arrogant leaders. Just because you can pigeonhole into some ironic pop-satire reference doesn't mean that you know what you're talking about.

For those of you who are worried by the permanent target on the backs of Americans, that was a good outcome.

Um, the song is nearly 50 years old and reflects the feelings of the day. Its an anti war song. There was this little war going on in SE Asia and a thing called the draft in place, not to mention the other little thing called the Cold War. You are too young to be affected by these things and be impacted by the song's message, which like many songs of the day are still relevant even though the sound may be dated to many.
Perhaps if you were subject to the draft, your feelings about this song may be different.
Perhaps because of songs like this, there is no draft today ...

you mean that you want to impose your lack of belief on others?
Now that's funny!
I wonder if "Spindrifter" is ever played, if Cynaera submitted it then it must be worthwhile .. oh and following Pride of Man with Audioslave was Genius! Cool rock man
Stop Everything. Turn up speakers...
Been a very long time... Thanks for this hairy old dinosaur...It is still as valid as waybackwhen... Plus it brings some baggage and memories of people long dead... but still as beautiful in memory as they were then... Haven't thought of them in such a long time.
And today's headlines with politicians going on now with as much sincerity as they did when Nixon won his first election...
History repeats itself first as tragedy then as farce... This does seem like a farce, but only for those who saw it before.
Just purchased this from Amazon...and tossed in a couple more...
( I hope you guys get some money, cause I've spent a lot on RP music. No regrets, just sayin )
Always amazing the way a song or smell or place can unlock your memories and take you back. Was wondering who this was and had largely settled on Spirit.
I don't have old memories associated with this song, unfortunately. I like the energy and free-form style, although some of the lyrics are ponderous and don't quite fit the rhythm. But hey, it was the Sixties so it's all groovy.
Always like QMS's "Fresh Air."
Coulda been written yesterday.
Yet it sounds so dated. Still like it.

WHO WAS Quicksilver Messenger Service besides Nicky Hopkins?
John Cipollina, guitar
Gary Duncan, guitar
David Freiberg, bass
Greg Elmore, drums
Dino Valenti was a founding member who was busted for possession and was serving time when the band broke. Duncan took a year off and Hopkins joined for their third album, Shady Grove. Valenti and Duncan rejoined the band for their fourth, Just for Love. Both Hopkins and Cipollina left after that one.
BTW, Nick Gravenites sings "Pride of Man." He'd come west with Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield from Chicago, and would become Bloomfield's and Buddy Miles's vocalist with The Electric Flag. The horns are the original Tower of Power horn section.

As for the music, "hasn't aged well" would be generous.
Yes, good ID on the graphic artist, piss poor evolution of your musical taste.

But even for me . . . I'm glad to hear it as a "back in the day" type memory refresher . . . but I'm also glad I don't hear this more than once every year or so

Well, John Cipolina, for one. Hopkins tenure with QSM was pretty brief.

He's thinkin' what I'm thinkin'.
Some people on another site were discussing the lyrics to this song and thought that the lyrics (italicized here) were prescient of 9/11—-kind of interesting.
Gordon Lightfoot did this too, and it actually sounds pretty good acoustic. The chord progression is fun to play:
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 a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, 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,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For those who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be
repaid,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make of you a pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
you bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people
heavy man
good stuff
