Let my People go
Thus saith the Lord:
Since you refuse to free my people
All through the land of Egypt...
God:
I send the pestilence and plague into your
house, into your bed, into your streams,
into your streets, into your drink, into your bread, Upon your cattle, on your sheep, upon your oxen in the field,
Into your dreams, into your sleep,
Until you break, until you yield.
I send the horde, i send the swarm
Thus saith the lord.
Moses:
Once i called you brother,
Once i thought the chance to make you laugh.
Was all i ever wanted.
God:
I send the thunder from the sky
I send the fire raining down
Moses:
And even now I wish that God
had chose another,
Serving as your foe on his behalf
Is the last thing that I wanted...
God:
I send a hail of burning ice
On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town.
Moses:
This was my home
All this pain and devastation
How it tortures me inside
All the innocent who suffer
From your stubbornness and pride...
God:
I send the locusts on the wind
Such as the world has never seen
On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
Until there's nothing left of green
I send my scourge, I send my sword
Thus saith the Lord!
Moses:
You who I called brother
Why must you call down another blow?
God:
I send my scourge, I send my sword
Moses:
Let my people go
Moses and God:
Thus saith the Lord.
Rameses:
You who I called brother
How could you have come to hate me so?
Is this what you wanted?
God:
I send the swarm, I send the horde...
Rameses:
Then let my heart be hardened
And never mind how high the cost may grow
This will still be so:
I will never let your people go...
God and Moses:
Thus saith the Lord:
Rameses:
I will not let:
God, Moses and Rameses:
Let My (Your) People go!
