VERSE 1

The Civil War was our AD 70

We have always been our own greatest enemy

Black chattel slavery enchains our memory

Covenantal sanctions, now pay the penalty

750,000 corpses

Left to rot in the sun with the slaughtered horses,

And their necks bore crosses while they cause the

Scarred black backs from their whips across them

Breed the women, rip their children from them

to punish the mother then kill them in front of them

Injustice established in ways so repulsive

The slave codes read on the Lord’s day from the pulpits

And the major culprits wore clerical collars

Exchanged the Gospel for perishing dollars

The lessons of this saga remain unlearned

Church Repent! Yet we have not turned.

Let the Fire Fall.

HOOK

Lord, Let Your Fire Fall, Consume it all

Let Your Fire Rain

Lord, Let Your Fire Fall

Consume it all

Glorify Your Name

VERSE 2

So it’s the land of the not free and home of the slaves

3,500 babies were murdered today

Half a million orphans interned by the state

Because the churches have turned them away

A standing army with executive rights patrols

The pagan state where blacks today still get sold

To the prison system, where one in three will live

While the Moloch State breeds their kids

It’s the religion of death!

You know police were made to hunt slaves?

And today? Well ain’t much changed,

Blood stains the amber waves of grain,

The plantations of the fruited plains

Where the truth is exchanged

Humanism is the root that’s ingrained

The wicked branches where the fruit is pain

And ruthless gain!

The end game when Jesus is rejected

We get oppressed by the king we selected

HOOK

Lord, Let Your Fire Fall; Consume it all

Let Your Fire Rain

Lord, Let Your Fire Fall

Consume it all

Glorify Your Name

VERSE 3

When the Law of God is mocked, and you think you can do it best

Just know the idols of the state always require human flesh

And whatever lawlessness that gets established for the rest

Will be the same trap that snags us by the neck

So you imagine a different law for the foreigner?

Don’t be surprised when the state is at your door with their warriors

Oh glorious King Jesus we appeal to heaven

Through this dark land we wield your weapons

Put the Axe to the Root!

Like Samson, collapsing the roof

On these pastors that will pass on the truth

Rebellion to tyrants must start in the church
