Lyrics

[00:00.00] The Plagues
[00:06.60] Thus saith the Lord:
[00:10.35] Since you refuse to free my people
[00:15.23] All through the land of Egypt...
[00:17.67] I send a pestilence and plague
[00:19.99] Into your house, into your bed
[00:22.80] Into your streams, into your streets
[00:24.16] Into your drink, into your bread
[00:26.19] Upon your cattle, on your sheep
[00:28.34] Upon your oxen in your field
[00:30.45] Into your dreams, into your sleep
[00:32.56] Until you break, until you yield
[00:34.77] I send the swarm, I send the horde
[00:38.97] Thus saith the Lord
[00:42.60]
[00:44.69] Once I called you brother
[00:46.79] Once I thought the chance
[00:48.27] to make you laugh
[00:49.68] Was all I ever wanted...
[00:51.46] I send the thunder from the sky
[00:53.13] I send the fire raining down
[00:55.52] And even now I wish that God
[00:57.65] had chose another
[00:59.50] Serving as your foe on his behalf
[01:01.89] Is the last thing that I wanted...
[01:03.82] I send a hail of burning ice
[01:05.63] On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town
[01:08.41] This was my home
[01:10.80] All this pain and devastation
[01:13.37] How it tortures me inside
[01:16.24] All the innocent who suffer
[01:18.42] From your stubbornness and pride...
[01:20.45] I send the locusts on a wind
[01:22.30] Such as the world has never seen
[01:24.60] On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
[01:26.70] Until there's nothing left of green
[01:28.43] I send my scourge, I send my sword
[01:32.50] Thus saith the Lord!
[01:34.60] You who I called brother
[01:36.21] Why must you call down another blow?
[01:38.63] I send my scourge, I send my sword
[01:42.87] Let my people go
[01:45.16] Thus saith the Lord
[01:47.18] Thus saith the Lord
[01:52.82]
[01:56.84] You who I called brother
[01:58.88] How could you have come to hate me so?
[02:01.90] Is this what you wanted?
[02:03.51] I send the swarm, I send the horde...
[02:07.23] Then let my heart be hardened
[02:09.15] And never mind how high the cost may grow
[02:12.17] This will still be so:
[02:14.27] I will never let your people go...
[02:19.95] Thus saith the Lord:
[02:22.42] Thus saith the Lord:
[02:25.10] I will not...
[02:26.44] Let your (my) people go!
[02:36.83]
