"Need the images"
As I read your post I thought of Sampson bringing down the pillars of the temple. Sundance was too.

Camille Saint-Saens set this to music brilliantly in his opera “Samson and Delilah” in 1895. In this 9 minute set from the Metropolitan Opera in 1998, the high priest and Delilah join the chorus in a contrapuntal number where they fill a dancer with the spirit of Dagon. The melody is from a sacred cantata by Bach which Saint-Saens turns into a wicked parody that is both religiously and musically blasphemous. If you want to skip to where Samson brings down the temple, go to 7:05. This is the only opera in the repertory that ends with everyone on stage screaming.
