Chorus
 Thus saith the Lord:
 Since you refuse to free my people
 All through the land of Egypt...

 I send a pestilence and plague
 Into your house, into your bed
 Into your streams, into your streets
 Into your drink, into your bread
 Upon your cattle, on your sheep
 Upon your oxen in your field
 Into your dreams, into your sleep
 Until you break, until you yield
 I send the swarm, I send the horde
 Thus saith the Lord

 Moses
 Once I called you brother
 Once I thought the chance
 to make you laugh
 Was all I ever wanted...

 Chorus
 I send the thunder from the sky
 I send the fire raining down

 Moses
 And even now I wish that God
 had chose another
 Serving s your foe on his behalf
 Is the last thing that I wanted...

 Chorus
 I send a hail of burning ice
 On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town

 Moses
 This was my home
 All this pain and devastation
 How it tortures me inside
 All the innocent who suffer
 From your stubbornness and pride...

 Chorus
 I send the locusts on a wind
 Such as the world has never seen
 On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
 Until there's nothing left of green
 I send my scourge, I send my sword
 Thus saith the Lord!

 Moses
 You who I called brother
 Why must you call down another blow?

 Chorus
 I send my scourge, I send my sword

 Moses
 Let my people go

 Moses and Chorus
 Thus saith the Lord

 Rameses
 You who I called brother
 How could you have come to hate me so?
 Is this what you wanted?

 Chorus
 I send the swarm, I send the horde...

 Rameses
 Then let my heart be hardened
 And never mind how high the cost may grow
 This will still be so:
 I will never let your people go...

 Chorus
 Thus saith the Lord:

 Moses
 Thus saith the Lord:

 Rameses
 I will not...

 Moses, Rameses, and Chorus
 Let your (my) people go
