Pride of Man: Vic....

[Georges]

Vic....I'm sure you were a moody blues guy if I'm not mistaken...if I am...sorry....

Anyway....there is a song by a San Fransisco area (late 1960's) named Quicksilver Messenger Service....They had a hit titled "Pride of Man"....

It amazes me....here is an "acid rock" band that puts out a song that is bible prophecy....and it's pretty good....see if you can down load it from somewhere....if you like the MB's you will like this....

Here are the lyrics... It seems that Gordon Lightfoot has done it as well...but I haven't heard his version....

Pride Of Man (Lightfoot!) 2:43


lyrics by: Hamilton Camp
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

I used to listen to Quicksilver, but don't recall that song.

No surprises here George. Though this is not a prophetic song, it does have some Biblically-based lyrics... and some anti-establishment lyrics too. LOL

From The Airplane:

Good Shepherd

If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep

chorus
One for Paul
One for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Cant you hear my lambs acallin'
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep

If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep

chorus

If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep

chorus

The Dead had several Biblically-based songs too. Sampson and Delilah comes to mind.

Oh, did you ever hear Queen's "The Prophet's Song" ?
