Amaseffer - Return To Egypt lyrics

(Hebrew text) ('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 compa**ion inside the Pharaoh's heart of stone Blood consumes the waters; tainting red the sacred Nile The rancid stench of d**h harbours 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 of the one and only God By the brandish of the staff a cloud of dust arises Carried by the desert winds and turning into lice Harming none in Goshen, infecting with their woe A gathering of vermin collide against the Hebrew's foes God presents severity like never seen before His words to Moses rumbles like the distant thunder roar The pestilence and sickness that stroke the heathen fold Are the labour 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 (Aaron:) (Hebrew text) ('Thus saith the lord God of Israel, let my people go, that they may hold a feast Unto me in the wilderness') (Pharaoh:) (Hebrew text) ('Who is the lord, that I should obey his voice to let the Israel go?') (Aaron:) (Hebrew text) ('The God of the Hebrews hath met with us') (Pharaoh:) (Hebrew text) ('Get thee from me! Take heed to thyself, see my face no more; For in that day thou see my face... thou shalt die!') (Moses:) (Hebrew text) ('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 of kings, judge us for we are your servants and they are your allies. Come and rage war with hem, 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
