Creeping Death (Ride the Lightning Demos) Songtext
von Metallica

(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, 400 years

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 firstborn pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

(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


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 firstborn pharaoh son
I'm creeping death
Fuck yeah

(Die) by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing firstborn man
(Die) by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing firstborn man
Die

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I creep the steps and floor, final darkness
Blood, lambs blood painted door, I shall pass (no)

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 firstborn pharaoh son
I′m creeping death, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
