Creeping Death lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Slaves, Hebrews born to serve to the Pharaoh
Heed to his every word, live in fear
Faith of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait, something must be done, four-hundred years

[Chorus]
So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written, so let it be done
To kill the first-born Pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

[Verse 2]
Now, let my people go, land of Goshen
Go, I will be with thee bush of fire
Blood, running red and strong down the Nile
Plague, darkness three days long, hail to fire

[Chorus]
So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written, so let it be done
To kill the first-born Pharaoh son
I'm creeping death
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Die by my hand (Die, die, die)
I creep across the land, killing first-born man (Die, die, die, die, die)
Die by my hand (Die, die, die)
I creep across the land, killing first-born man (Die, die, die, die, die)

[Verse 3]
I rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born, I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I creep the steps and floor, final darkness
Blood, lamb's blood-painted door I shall pass

[Chorus]
So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written, so let it be done
To kill the first-born Pharaoh son
I'm creeping death
