Song by Ralph Fiennes / Amick Byram<br /><br>

[Chorus]<br>

Thus saith the Lord:<br>

Since you refuse to free my people<br>

All through the land of Egypt...<br>

<br>

I send a pestilence and plague<br>

Into your house, into your bed<br>

Into your streams, into your streets<br>

Into your drink, into your bread<br>

Upon your cattle, on your sheep<br>

Upon your oxen in your field<br>

Into your dreams, into your sleep<br>

Until you break, until you yield<br>

I send the swarm, I send the horde<br>

Thus saith the Lord<br>

<br>

[Moses]<br>

Once I called you brother<br>

Once I thought the chance<br>

to make you laugh<br>

Was all I ever wanted...<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

I send the thunder from the sky<br>

I send the fire raining down<br>

<br>

[Moses]<br>

And even now I wish that God <br>

had chose another<br>

Serving s your foe on his behalf<br>

Is the last thing that I wanted...<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

I send a hail of burning ice<br>

On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town<br>

<br>

[Moses]<br>

This was my home<br>

All this pain and devastation<br>

How it tortures me inside<br>

All the innocent who suffer<br>

From your stubbornness and pride...<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

I send the locusts on a wind<br>

Such as the world has never seen<br>

On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk <br>

Until there's nothing left of green<br>

I send my scourge, I send my sword<br>

Thus saith the Lord!<br>

<br>

[Moses]<br>

You who I called brother<br>

Why must you call down another blow?<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

I send my scourge, I send my sword<br>

<br>

[Moses]<br>

Let my people go<br>

<br>

[Moses and Chorus]<br>

Thus saith the Lord<br>

<br>

[Rameses]<br>

You who I called brother<br>

How could you have come to hate me so?<br>

Is this what you wanted?<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

I send the swarm, I send the horde...<br>

<br>

[Rameses]<br>

Then let my heart be hardened <br>

And never mind how high the cost may grow<br>

This will still be so:<br>

I will never let your people go...<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

Thus saith the Lord:<br>

<br>

[Moses]<br>

Thus saith the Lord:<br>

<br>

[Rameses]<br>

I will not...<br>

<br>

[Moses, Rameses, and Chorus]<br>

Let your (my) people go!<br>

<br>
