Lyrics: [Verse 1] Cross the border, leave the ghosts at the line The land is a gift but the choice is still mine Moses spoke the word like a hammer to the head “Tear down the stone where the poison was fed!” Smash the pillars, let the icons fall You cannot build a kingdom with rot in the wall If you want the harvest, you must burn the weed Lest the ancient sickness chokes out the seed! [Verse 2] The “comfortable poison” is a slow-motion grave You’re kissing the chains of the life you won’t save You can’t find your healing in the halls of your hurt Stop trying to wash in the blood and the dirt The directive is clear, the command is a fire To pull every spirit out of the mire What they worshipped in darkness must die in the light If you want to survive the length of the night! [Chorus] Tear Down The Altar! Burn down that place! Scour the earth of the shame and disgrace! Leave the biohazard, let the shrines fall Tear down the statues, reclaim it all! You cannot be whole in the shadow of the dead Follow the fire where the spirit is led! [Verse 3] My father told me, “Son, guard your own ground” Where the air is heavy, the truth isn’t found You don’t fix a house that is built on a lie You strike a match and you watch the flames fly Extraction is holy, the cutting is deep But the promises made are the ones we must keep The Chrome Crucifix isn’t here to compromise We’re here to watch the smoke of the idols rise! [Verse 4] The new land is waiting, but the spirit must change To walk in the blessing, the past must be strange No traces of failure, no scent of the rot Wipe away the names of the things we forgot The extraction is final, the covenant is sworn From the ashes of altars, a sovereign is born No more bowing to ghosts, no more shrines to the pain Only the truth and the fire remain! [Bridge] SMASH THE ALTAR! BURN THE ASHES! BREAK THE IDOLS! END THE CRASHES! YOU CANNOT HEAL WHERE YOU WERE BROKEN! THE DIRECTIVE OF GOD HAS BEEN SPOKEN! [Chorus] Tear Down The Altar! Burn down that place! Scour the earth of the shame and disgrace! Leave the biohazard, let the shrines fall Tear down the statues, reclaim it all! You cannot be whole in the shadow of the dead Follow the fire where the spirit is led! [Outro] The altars are dust... The land is clean... Don’t look back... Never look back...
