“Fall of Dagon,” by Leeland is a powerful declaration of faith. The title references a story from the Bible where a Philistine god named Dagon falls apart when placed near the Ark of the Covenant, a symbol of God’s presence.
The song paints a vivid picture of God’s immense power. The lyrics describe him riding on clouds, causing thunder to boom, and even shaking the mountains. This awesome display of might is contrasted with the weakness of false gods. The song mentions followers of these false idols being unable to even lift their statues as God’s presence overpowers them.
“Fall of Dagon” is more than just a story from the past. It’s a celebration of God’s ongoing power in our lives. The repeated chorus, “Holy, holy,” emphasizes his majesty and inspires the listener to join in with praise.

Fall of Dagon Lyrics by Leeland
He rides the chariot of clouds
The thunder rumbles and resounds
And when He speaks the deer gives birth
The mountains melt into the earth
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
All the prophets of false gods
Their legs grow weak and strength gives out
From picking up their graven image
Falling down on to the ground
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
All I can sing
Holy, holy
Creation sings
Holy, holy
The heavens ring
Holy, holy
Holy, holy
All I can sing
Holy, holy
Creation sings
Holy, holy
The heavens ring
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy
All I can sing
Holy, holy
Creation sings
Holy, holy
The heavens ring
Holy, holy
He rides the chariot of clouds
The thunder rumbles and resounds
