Lyrics

[RAMESES] And once again you are the only one you see Here is the real question, why did you do this to me? [MOSES, spoken] This isn't about you, Rameses [RAMESES, spoken] Everything is about me! I am Pharaoh! (sung) Like Menkeperre Thutmose, Horemheb the Warrior, Menmaatre Seti Did you think I would not be as strong? Some weak link—now you see you are wrong! You are wrong You are— [WOMAN, spoken] It's blood! [MAN, spoken] The river is turning to blood! [ENSEMBLE, sung] Blood Blood The Nile has turned to blood [Rameses knocks on the door of the High Priest.] [RAMESES, spoken] High Priest, what is the meaning of this? [HIGH PRIEST HOTEP, spoken] I can assure you our secret arts can do the same. Observe, by the power of Ra, turn this water to blood [NEFERTARI, spoken] You see? It was a mere trick [HOTEP] Whatever this imposter does, we can match it–and more! [HOTEP & ENSEMBLE 1, (ENSEMBLE 2, spoken)] By the power of Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah Nephthys, Nekhmet, Sobek, Sekhmet Anubis, Anoukis, Reshpu, Wadjet Sokar, Serket, Seshmu, Meshket (Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord) Hemsut, Tefnut, Heket, Mafdet, Ra! (Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord) (Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord) (Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord) (sung) I send a pestilence and plague Into your house, into your bed Into your streets, into your streams Into your drink, into your bread Upon your cattle, on your sheep Upon your oxen in your field Into your dreams, into your sleep Until you break, until you yield I send the swarm, I send the horde Thus saith the Lord [MOSES, sung] No power on Earth Can match this might [ENSEMBLE] I will send thunder from the sky I will send fire raining down [MOSES] No power on Earth Can stand against such force [ENSEMBLE] I will send hail of burning ice On every field, on every town [MOSES] Ramses, you betrayed our bargain It's you who chose this course [ENSEMBLE] I will send locusts on the wind Such as the world has never seen On every stalk, on every leaf Until there's nothing left of green I send my scourge, I send my sword Thus saith the Lord [QUEEN TUYA, spoken] Moses, you came [MOSES, spoken] Of course, I will come if my mother summons me [QUEEN TUYA] Promise me you will make peace with your brother. Promise me (sung) I gave you a home, my son Not just me, so many Our love for you was strong And now you've come home But to those who loved you You do us all such wrong And it breaks my heart to ask you Did you hate us all along? [ENSEMBLE] I send the punishment of plagues I send it down upon your head Into your streets, into your streams Into your drink, into your bread Upon your cattle, on your sheep Upon your oxen in your field Into your dreams, into your sleep Until you break, until you yield I send my scourge, I send my sword Thus saith the Lord Thus saith the Lord... [RAMESES, sung] No power on Earth Sometimes I feel I have No power on Earth [MOSES] You can make it right You're the one who can fix this All you have to do is give the order You can make it right [MOSES, spoken] Rameses, let my people go [RAMESES, spoken] You will not give me orders. You will not threaten me! [ENSEMBLE] I send the swarm, I send the horde I send my scourge, I send my sword [RAMESES & (MOSES), sung] No power on Earth (You can make it right) Can change my mind (Only you can fix this) [ENSEMBLE] I send my fire raining down Such as the world has never seen [RAMESES & (MOSES)] No power on Earth (Brother take the chance while you still have it) Will tell me what's it all going (Now before the horrors grow) [ENSEMBLE] On every stalk, on every leaf Until there's nothing left of green [RAMESES & (MOSES), sung] Now finally my heart is hardened (You can't win this fight) Now this I finally know (One last time, I beg you) I will never let your people go! (Let my people go!) [ENSEMBLE] Thus saith the Lord [MOSES] Thus saith the Lord [RAMESES & (ENSEMBLE)] I will not let your people go! (Let my people go!)
