lyrics

Altar
Odri Gibbor ©2020
Based on 1 Kgs 18:1-39; Jer 31:15

You worship before the Altar of Baal
Child sacrifice in the name of the moral.
Eating the flesh of the innocents,
You justify your lust for pow’r, Altar of Baal!

You dance around the altar, “Build it high! Build it higher!”
See smoke swirl from the funeral pyre;
Savage slaughter in the cradle of life,
Tools of torture, instruments of death!

Sweet-talk sales-men buy and sell your wares,
They regurgitate money with hungry stares.
Take off the mask you claim is life,
And show your face: Mask of Death! Altar of Baal!

You dance around the altar shouting: “Build, Build it higher!”
See smoke swirl from the funeral pyre;
Savage slaughter in the cradle of life,
Tools of torture, instruments of death!

Rachel weeping for her children
Bitter tears fall down.
Rachel weeping for her children,
They are no more!

You worship before the Altar of Baal,
Child sacrifice, in the name of the moral.
You tear your children limb from limb,
Your callous cruelty, Mark of Evil! Altar of Baal!

You dance around, shouting: “Build it high! Build it higher!”
See smoke swirl from the funeral pyre;
Savage slaughter in the cradle of life,
Tools of torture, instruments of death!
