Lyrics

[Intro]

And once again you are the only one you see

Here is the real question, why did you do this to me?

This isn't about you, Ramses

Everything is about me, I am Pharaoh

Like Menkeperre Thutmose, Horemheb the Warrior, Menmaatre Seti

Did you think I would not be as strong?

Some weak link, now you see you are wrong

You are wrong, you are-

[Verse 1]

It's blood

The river is turning to blood!

Blood, blood, the Nile has turned to blood

[Verse 2]

High Priest, what is the meaning of this?

I can assure you our secret arts can do the same

Observe, by the power of Ra, turn this water to blood

You see? It was a mere trick

Whatever this imposter does, we can match it, and more!

[Verse 3]

By the power of Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah

Nephthys, Nekhmet, Sobek, Sekhmet

Anubis, Anoukis, Reshpu, Wadjet

Sokar, Sekret, Seshmu, Meshket

Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord

Hemsut, Tefnut, Heket, Mafdet, Ra!

Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord

Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord

Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord

[Chorus]

I send a pestilence and plague

Into your house, into your bed

Into your streams, into your streets

Into your drink, into your bread

Upon your cattle, on your sheep

Upon your oxen in your field

Into your dreams, into your sleep

Until you break, until you yield

I send the swarm, I send the horde

Thus saith the Lord

[Verse 4]

No power on Earth

Can match this might

I will send thunder from the sky, I will send fire raining down

No power on Earth

Can stand against such force

I will send hail of burning ice on every field, on every town

Ramses, you betrayed our bargain

It's you who chose this course

I will send locusts on the wind such as the world has never seen

On every stalk, on every leaf until there's nothing left of green

[Chorus]

I send my scourge, I send my sword

Thus saith the Lord

[Verse 5]

Moses, you came

Of course I will come if my mother summons me

Promise me you will make peace with your brother, promise me

[Bridge]

I gave you a home, my son

Not just me, so many, our love for you was strong

And now you've come home

But to those who loved you, you do us all such wrong

And it breaks my heart to ask you, did you hate us all along?

[Chorus]

I send the punishment of plagues

I send it down upon your head

Into your steams, into your streeets

Into your drink, into your bread

Upon your cattle, on your sheep

Upon your oxen in your field

Into your dreams, into your sleep

Until you break, until you yield

I send my scourge, I send my sword

Thus saith the Lord

Thus saith the Lord

[Verse 6]

No power on Earth

Sometimes I feel I have no power on Earth

You can make it right

You're the one who can fix this

All you have to do is give the order

You can make it right

[Verse 7]

Ramses, let my people go

You will not give me orders, you will not threaten me

[Chorus]

I send the swarm, I send the horde

I send my scourge, I send my sword

[Verse 8]

No power on Earth

You can make it right

Can change my mind

Only can fix this

I send my fire raining down such as the world has never seen

No power on Earth will tell me what is so

Brother, take the chance while you still have it, now before the horrors grow

On every stalk, on every leaf until there's nothing left of green

Now, finally my heart is hardened, now this I finally know

You can't win this fight, one last time I beg you

I will never let your people go

Let my people go

Thus saith the Lord

Thus saith the Lord

[Outro]

I will not let your people go

Let my people go
