Someone sent me an e-mail with the below song (I grabbed the full lyrics from the DT database). I'm sure there are others that should be sung. Any thoughts?

PRIDE OF MAN
(Hamilton Camp)

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! the pride of man broken in the dust again

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! 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 buried in her shame
Their mighty men are beaten down their kings are fallen 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 side, though the leaders are dismayed
And 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 back the way you came
Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of God is raised
On Babylon that might city rich in treasure, wide in fame
It shall cause thy tower to fall and make of thee a pyre of flame
Oh, God! the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Oh, thou who dwell on many waters, 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 earth again.
Thy holy mountain be restored
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord.

BTW, it was I that posted that last post. Sorry, didn't mean to be anonymous; I just forgot to sign it.

I also was thinking of Tommy Sands' "There Were Roses".

How about this Dylan song

DEATH IS NOT THE END

When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you've held sacred, falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is no the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing at the crossroads that you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished and you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When the storm clouds gather 'round you, and heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there's no one there to comfort you, with a helpin' hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

Oh, the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies

When the cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find just one law abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
