We’ve been deceived
By the devil too long
We’re gonna tear
The devil’s kingdom down
What he said was his
Has been ours all along
We’re gonna tear
The devil’s kingdom down
We’re going up to the high places
We’re going up to the high places
We’re going up to the high places
To tear the devil’s kingdom down
Let’s go up
Going up to the high places
Going up to the high places
Going up to the high places
To tear the devil’s kingdom down
We’ve got to be strong
We’ve got to be bold
We’re gonna tear
The devil’s kingdom come
We’re gonna reclaim
Everything the devil stole
We’re gonna reclaim
Everything the devil stole
We’re gonna tear
The devil’s kingdom come
(Repeat second chorus)
Going up to the high places
Going up to the high places
Going up to the high places
To tear the devil’s kingdom down
(Repeat first verse)
(Repeat second chorus)
We’re gonna pull down the altars
We’re gonna tear down the walls
We’re gonna raise up
The banner of righteousness
And declare that
Jesus is Lord of all
(Repeat second chorus)
We’re gonna tear
The devil’s kingdom down
We’re gonna tear
The devil’s kingdom down
