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 the 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’s buried in her shame
Their mighty men are beaten down, their kings have 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
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 mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame
It shall cause thy tower to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again
Oh thou that 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

This is part of the seven deadly sins challenge, so I’m not normally this self-absorbed. HAHA. Yeah, right. xD
1. My eyes. I don’t know anyone with eyes my color. I have yellow, grey, and green in them. And sometimes they turn blue. I like them.
2. I like my height. It makes me unique-ish for my area. Everyone is short and Asian, so I feel special being tall and white. xD
3. I’m a great listener. If you have a problem you can seriously tell me. I would listen to a complete stranger if it would make them feel better.
4. I’m not judgmental. Unless you are a real bastard. I normally let people explain themselves before I start judging them. I would like the same chance if I was in their place. I hate when people jump up your butt for saying something.
5. I’m pretty smart. I manage to get good grades and I can understand most things once I’m familiar with them. Except math, then probably not. I still think I’m smarter than a great deal of people though.
6. This ties into some of the others, but I’m extremely nice. It might seem like I’m a ranty bitch, but quiet honestly I’m a push-over in some ways. I’m willing to help almost anyone out. I love helping people and seeing people happy.
7. I am a great observer. I feel like I can understand people I barely know. I understand why people do the things they do even if they don’t make sense to others. I have watched people silently for too long not to get a sense of how the human-mind works.
So here are my PRIDEFUL traits. I guess that’s what you would call them. But underneath my pleasant exterior lies a narcissist, just waiting to pop out. xD
