Slaves For Life

In a land of two horizons
One million suns ago
Where Pharaoh Rules
Black magic thrives
Effigies with marble eyes

King of all kings
Not like one before
He never knew of Joseph's sons
Enslave the Hebrews
Kingdom come

Seasons end
Years went by
Oppression,
Forced labor,
Bleeding hands blistering our souls

Look for a sign in a 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 promised 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

הבה נתחכמה לו פן ירבה ובנוסף הוא גם על שונאינו
Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies…
(Exodus 1:10)

Master Anubis
Demonstrate your powers
Abashed I stand before you
Crush their spirits
Subdue the Hebrew slaves
No leniency, compassion

ונלחם בנו ועלה מן הארץ...
…Fight against us and leave the country.
(Exodus 1:10)

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 slip away
No way out from this enchanted land
The gods of Egypt cast their spell
