Break the High Places

For years they stood against the sky
Untouched by doubt
Untouched by time
Stone upon stone

Lie upon lie
Raised so high
No one remembered who built them
Their shadows stretched across the land

Longer than memory
Older than reason
People passed beneath them
Without a question

Without a thought
Bring them down
One by one
Bring them down

Let the work be done
The sound of falling stone
Carried through the valleys
A language everyone understood

The age of compromise
Had reached its end
What survives the hammer?
What survives the flame?

Only what was true
Before the idols came
Dust filled the air
The skyline changed

And for the first time
The land could breathe again
Bring them down
One by one

Bring them down
Let the work be done
