In a land of two horizons One million suns ago Where Pharaoh rules black magic tribes Effigies with marble eyes King of all kings Not like one before He never knew of Joseph's son (Enslave the hebrews, kingdom come) Seasons End Years went by Opression Forced label bleeding hands blistering our soul Look for a sign in the pale grey sky Look for something we might never find If god exists please tell us why Must we die in the clutching hands of evil? Deliverance God send us your helping hand Deliverance Striving for our promise land Walk towards the sun From anguish to redemption Look for a guiding hand To bring us all salvation Oh mighty gods of Egypt Rulers of winds and suns Look they outnumber us Shrewdly we deal with them Proudly we stand as a kingdom One must be strong, it has begun Master Anubis, demonstrate your powers Abashed I stand before you Crush their spirits Subdue the hebrew slaves No leniency, compassion A vision I had Someone will arise A new messiah liberation is thy name You shall not see the light of day You will not run nor sleep away No way out from this enchanted land The gods of Egypt cast their Spell

[Hebrew text] ('Every born son you shall cast into the Nile' [Exodus 1:22]) Many sleepless nights Far too many troubled days The prophets are grim at thought The oracles have spoken Dark and gloomy eyes turned hellish red in mind Every born son you shall cast into the Nile! And I know for sure that they won't endure Something's got to give They will crumble down Show them no remorse Make them feel the pain Spill the blood of every son, for this is not in vain Be silent my child, be silent my child Your tender cry, visions in your eyes And I won't let go, no, I won't let go Embracing you, my child Stay with me [Hebrew text] ('And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, Whom the lord knew face to face, in all the signs and the wonders, Which the Lord sent to him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, And to all his servants, and to all his land, and in all that mighty hand, And in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel' [Deuteronomy 34:10-12]) Distant sound of evil getting closer with each step I must hide before they reach Quick, hide before they breach I know that they look for you You're safe with me God holds your hand Silent screams For if they hear us, it will be the end of his life I'll sacrifice myself for you, my child I'll sacrifice my soul My gracious God, please send me an angel with crystal white wings, which under it we safely abide No evil can harm us Holy savior, protector of the Kingdom of Heaven, I'm calling your name Hear me! I've seen the light shining from above! (x2) [Hebrew text] ('The LORD make his face shine upon thee' [Numbers 6:25]) [Hebrew text] ('And she took for him an ark of bulrushes and put the child therein, and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.' [Exodus 2:3]) Hush my baby, don't you cry My love for you is eternal Like the everlasting fire, you light up the darkest corner of my soul God please, God please hold his hand Protect him from our sins Show your grace, bless the child Watch him from afar as he floats along the Nile Aimlessly drifting Washed away with all my tears My sorrow, my pain! A tear drop falling ripples my reflection And I can't let go

I was born into the unknown Don't know who I am, but they say I'm the chosen one Not knowing how my people suffer, I hear their cry for deliverance With each brick stone they build, I reach out I'm the only one My heart goes out for you Bless you, my brothers May the holy light shine on you I'll take your life By sticks and stones I'll die My hate will bring my end Feel the power of a man possessed Like a blood thirsted demon, won't let go! Only one will be victorious The last man who's still standing I shall prevail (No way!) What are you fighting for? (Blood!) Rage and hatred will remain in our souls! A silent scream inside of me...what have I done? Blood stains on my hands contaminate my soul Eliminate my goals If I could find a solace, it would comfort me Finding peace within my rage Lost in my world Will it crumble down on me? Someone save me, please! (Slave masters:) [Hebrew text] ('He killed the officer! He killed the officer! Catch him! Catch him!) I see the burning eyes chasing me into the night Follow me as I run away No one to lead the way to Paradise, Let not such act to be in vain The stars won't shine, moon turned to black Will I ever be able to go back? The night is falling down on me In my anguish I cried to the Lord and he answered by setting me free And if the day will come that I stand before you, I will show my atonement Ask for forgiveness, for I am a sinner My spirit will ever be scarred

The clouds are long gone The sun is shining from above A fountain of life in the desert I saw her standing by the well [Hebrew text] I fell for you, my one true love [Hebrew text] You are my guiding star [Hebrew text] I whisper your name [Hebrew text] Come, my dear, and cure my cries Day and night, I can't rest my eyes Screams inside of me torturing my soul I hear my crying brothers [Hebrew text] I fell for you, my one true love [Hebrew text] You are my guiding star [Hebrew text] I whisper your name [Hebrew text] Fallen from grace, will these wounds heal? Scarred by hands of faith, a higher seal Desert daughter, please help me feel Is true and destined love for real?

[Hebrew text] ('There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up' [Exodus 3:2]) I've learnt of brimstones, I've learnt of ambers, but a thing like this is far beyond what I've learnt to know A sorcery of some origin An ancient force A flame that keeps to grow Unburning flame Undying knowledge Inflamed can't be this fiery perception Embrace the strength Bow and acknowledge to answer the uncalled Hebrew question [Hebrew text] ('When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush' [Exodus 3:4]) Recreating everything in every single word In awe I kneel before the ruler of the world I'm but a shepherd, I cannot lead no man I won't defy the voice, but I cannot understand If truly you are God, if you can see inside my soul, who am I to stand against the Pharaoh, and who am I at all? Who am I at all? On this forsaken mountain, nothing is mundane This voice is telling me of a land forgot by men My Lord has spoken true, his words sculpture my heart The warrant is superb, indeed the high command Even as a stammerer your distant voice be heard Now I'll leave my home and gather all my herd [Hebrew text] ('So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt' [Exodus 3:10]) Unresting fire, the sacred flame of God From this moment on to you, my Lord, I vow A holy cleansing, secular shell being shed As instant as a heartbeat, I'll follow his command Follow his command (x2)

[Hebrew text - ADON OLAM (Traditional)] "The Lord of the Universe who reigned before anything was created When all was made by his will, He was acknowledged as King And when all shall end, He still all alone shall reign. He was, He is, and He shall be in glory And He is one, and there's no other to compare or join Him Without beginning, without end And to Him belongs dominion and power In His temple my soul shall rejoice Our Messiah He shall speedily send, and then we shall sing in the holy temple, 'Amen, Amen, the awesome one.'"

(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 compassion inside the Pharaoh's heart of stone Blood consumes the waters; tainting red the sacred Nile The rancid stench of death 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

The eye of Ra will see no more the sun that lights his kingdom's shores A kingdom that became a grave is now the liberty of every Hebrew slave When neither side will dawn a smile, none of the fallen souls rejoin the Nile And all shall perish across this land, forsaken and condemned As destiny of man rises like a morning star, nightfall will embrace Goshen from afar And in the hour of bereavement, every mourning witness can gasp, "It's not the end" In our hour of darkness, our prayers are all ignored The winds that blow inside our temples whisper of our coming fall In our time of need, before we turn to animals The home that Ra's forsaken, His absence scarred our souls within As destiny of man rises like a morning star, nightfall will embrace Goshen from afar And in the hour of bereavement, every mourning witness can gasp, "It's not the end" After we have been diminished for more than we could bear, after both of our children were murdered in sickening affairs, we're eager to leave this cursed place of death and mourning Sent and cast away with haste Pain within our souls Our triumph is their loss Replacing hoes with knives There is no single soul left in Egypt that can be called "alive" Alive... (x2) [Hebrew text] ('And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, what is this? That thou shalt say unto him...' [Exodus 13:14])
