Verse 1

Slaves, Hebrews born to serve to the pharaoh 
Heed to his every word, live in fear 
Faith of the unknown one, the deliverer 
Wait, something must be done, four hundred years 

Pre-Chorus

    

Chorus

So let it be written  
So let it be done  
I'm sent here by the chosen one  
So let it be written  
So let it be done  
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death
      

Verse 2

Now, let my people go, land of Goshen 
Go, I will be with thee, bush of fire 
Blood, running red and strong down the Nile 
Plague, darkness three days long, hail to fire 

Pre-Chorus

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

Verse 3

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer 
Born, I shall soon be there, deadly mass 
I creep the steps and floor, final darkness 
Blood, lambs blood painted door, I shall pass
