"And he cast upon them the fierceness of his anger
Wrath and indignation, and trouble
A host of evil angels."
(Psalms, 78:49)
Two brothers stand; their eyes are caught with fire
They know no fear from the tyrant on the throne
A simple wish not granted, to worship for their god
There's no compassion inside the Pharaoh's heart of stone
Blood consumes the waters; tainting red the sacred Nile
The rancid stench of death harbors winds for miles
The cities and the temples, flooded now with frogs
And their croaking lasted days until Moses gave his word
The Pharaoh's slender patience was reducing with each night
But to free the hebrew slaves was an unimaginable right
Though the word that spread in Egypt was speaking of the awe
That was penetrating slowly about a God they do not know
A host of evil angels - each has a different sword
Striking down at Egypt in the name on the One and Only God
By the brandish of the staff a cloud of dust arises
Carried by the desert wind and turning into lice
Harming none in goshen, infecting with their woe
A gathering of verming collide against the hebrew's foes
God presents severity like never seen before
His words to Moses rumbles like the distand thunder roar
The pestilence and sickness that stroke the heathen fold
Are the labor pains of freedom taking out their toll?
Storming down with holy anger
Rain of fire destroys all
Unending swarms of god sent Furies
Covering the suns in whole
(Hebrew Text)
AARON:
"Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness"
PHARAOH:
"Who is the Lord, that I shoul obey his voice to let the Israel go?"
AARON:
"The God of the Hebrews hath with us"
PHARAOH:
"Get thee from me! Take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou see my face... thou shall die!"
MOSES:
"My Lord, master of the universe
Flesh and blood when He comes down to rage war
His ministers and servants surrounding him in all his glory. And you supreme king od kings, judge us for we are your servants and they are your allies. Come and rage war with them, hallowed be the name of God...
For ever and ever!"
The Pharaoh's heart was stubborn
But the grief was greater than his will
By taking every first born
Entire Egypt chilled

- "Every born son you shall cast into the Nile" [Exodus 1:22]-
Many sleepless nights
Far too many troubled days
The prophets are grim at thought
(The oracles have spoken)
Dark and gloomy eyes
Turned hellish red in mind
(Every born son you shall cast into the Nile)
And I know for sure
That they won't endure
Something's got to give
They will crumble down
Show them no remorse
Make them feel the pain
Spill the blood of every son
For this is not in vain
Be silent my child
Be silent my child
Your tender cry
Visions in your eyes
And I won't let go
No I won't let go
Embracing you
My Child
Stay with me
[Hebrew text]
- "And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses
Whom the lord knew face to face, in all the signs and the wonders
Which the Lord sent to him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh
And to all his servants, and to all his land, and in all that mighty hand
And in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel"
[Deuteronomy 34:10-12]-
Distant sound of evil
Getting closer with each step
Must hide before they reach
(Quick) Hide before they breach
I know that they look for you
You're safe with me
God holds your hand
Silent screams
For if they hear us it will be
The end of his life
I'll sacrifice myself
For you, my child
I'll sacrifice my soul
My gracious God
Please send me an angel
With crystal white wings
Which under it we safely abide
No evil can harm us
Holy savior
Protector of kingdom of heaven
I'm calling your name...
Hear me!
I've seen the light shining from above
[Hebrew text]
- "The Lord make his face shine upon thee" [Numbers 6:25]-
I've seen the light shining from above

- "And she took for him an ark of bulrushes and put the child therein
And she laid it in the flags by the river's brink." [Exodus 2:3]-
Hush my baby don't you cry
My love for you is eternal
Like the everlasting fire
You light up the darkest corner of my soul
God please, God please hold his hand
Protect him from our sins
Show your grace
Bless the child
Watch him from a far
As he floats along the Nile
Aimlessly drifting
Washed away with all my tears
My sorrow
My pain
A tear drop falling
Ripples my reflection
And I can't let go
