Escape

A new king among us Looming war in our midst, commanded by the Pharaoh Every born cast away, left to die All but one, foretold to save his people Standing on holy ground, this fire burns I know their suffering Free them from land to promise I will be with you I am who I am Remember the covenant Draw him out from the water, brought out from the burdens Every born cast away, left to die All but one, foretold to save his people Stretch out my hand and strike Leprous hand be healed I will be your mouth And teach you how to speak Hardened heart Bridegroom of blood He's seen our affliction Bow our heads and worship Pay no regard to lying words For you are idle A new king among us Looming war in our midst, commanded by the Pharaoh Every born cast away, left to die All but one, foretold to save his people So strike the Nile Turn the water into blood The thunder and hail And fire will rain down on earth To alter the mind Through the respite, go strike the dust To bring up the plague And in my name be set free And in my name set free Present your serpentine staff, but matched by wicked arts And still remains his hardened heart You have some evil purpose before your face Stretch out your arm, that there be darkness over the land And on the day you see my face you shall die So let them go Let them go Mark the lintel with blood Final plague shall pass over Strike down all of the firstborns Be gone, and in my name set free Four centuries passed, enslaved and mistreated And in my name set free
