Hamilton Camp

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 beaten down 

The kings are fallen in the ways

Oh God, the pride of man 

Broken in the dust again 

From his 1964 song, "Pride of Man."  Camp, an English folksinger, actor, and voiceover artist, made his folksinging debut at the Newport Folk Festival in 1960.  "Pride of Man" was covered by Quicksilver Messenger Service and Gordon Lightfoot.

Don't tell me that Camp didn't have "Ozymandias" in mind when he wrote "Pride of Man."
