Amaseffer - Ten Plagues lyrics

rate me

Two brothers stand; their eyes are caught with fire<br />

They know no fear from the tyrant on the throne<br />

A simple wish not granted, to worship for their god<br />

There's no compassion inside the Pharaoh's heart of stone.<br />

<br />

Blood consumes the waters; tainting red the sacred Nile<br />

The rancid stench of death harbours winds for miles<br />

The cities and the temples, flooded now with frogs<br />

And their croaking lasted days until Moses gave his word<br />

<br />

The Pharaoh's slender patience was reducing with each night<br />

But to free the Hebrew slaves was an unimaginable right<br />

Though the word that spread in Egypt was speaking of the awe<br />

That was penetrating slowly about a God they do not know<br />

<br />

A host of evil angels - each has a different sword<br />

Striking down at Egypt in the name of the one and only God<br />

<br />

By the brandish of the staff a cloud of dust arises<br />

Carried by the desert winds and turning into lice<br />

<br />

Harming none in Goshen, infecting with their woe<br />

A gathering of vermin collide against the Hebrew's foes<br />

<br />

God presents severity like never seen before<br />

His words to Moses rumbles like the distant thunder roar<br />

<br />

The pestilence and sickness that stroke the heathen fold<br />

Are the labour pains of freedom taking out their toll?<br />

<br />

Storming down with holy anger<br />

Rain of fire destroys all<br />

Unending swarms of God sent furies<br />

Covering the suns in whole
