Frangite Idola (Smash the Idols)

[Intro – crushing low chug riff, Gregorian chant under distortion] Frangite idola eorum Conterite aras eorum Deuteronomium 12:3 [Verse 1 – brutal, growled, fast double-kick] Elijah stood on Carmel’s peak Four hundred fifty prophets of Baal They danced and cut and bled themselves But silence answered their wail The fire fell from heaven’s hand Consumed the offering and the stone The people fell upon their faces And cried “The Lord, He is God alone!” (1 Kings 18:38–39) [Pre-chorus – choir roars over half-time slam] Conterite aras eorum Frangite statuas eorum Comburete lucos igni [Chorus – high-octane, full band explosion, gang shouts] FRANGITE IDOLA! Smash the false gods, crush their thrones! FRANGITE IDOLA! Tear down the altars, break their bones! Baal is nothing, Moloch devours The child in flames, the blood he pours (Leviticus 18:21 / 2 Kings 23:10) Frangite idola! The Lord alone is God, and we will not bow! [Verse 2 – rain on stone, voice steady] Josiah tore the high places down The groves of Asherah burned to ash Moloch’s Topheth defiled with bones No more the innocent in the fire’s lash The golden calf at Sinai’s foot Moses ground it into dust and drank The people drank their sin and wept While God’s wrath passed and mercy sank [Chorus – even heavier, double-kick storm] FRANGITE IDOLA! Smash the false gods, crush their thrones! FRANGITE IDOLA! Tear down the altars, break their bones! No idol speaks, no statue saves They are dust that the wind enslaves (Psalm 115:4–8) Frangite idola! The Lord alone is God, and we will not bow! [Bridge – breakdown, guttural growls + choir] The idols are silver and gold The work of men’s hands They have mouths but cannot speak Eyes but cannot see Hands but cannot feel Feet but cannot walk Those who make them become like them And all who trust in them (Psalm 115:4–8) CRUSH THEM! SMASH THEM! BURN THEM DOWN! In the name of the Lord! [Final Chorus – total war, everything at max] FRANGITE IDOLA! Smash the false gods, crush their thrones! FRANGITE IDOLA! Tear down the altars, break their bones! The Lord reigns, His wrath is fire His mercy burns the liar’s pyre (Deuteronomy 4:24) Frangite idola! The Lord alone is God And we will not bow! [Outro – choir victorious over fading riffs] Dominus solus Deus Non est alius In aeternum Amen.
