Creeping Death (Live At The Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, Ca – March 10Th, 1985)

So, you wanna little more
Alright
It's off the album "Ride the Lightning"
Entitled "Creeping Death"

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

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's 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's son
I'm creeping death

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

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, hey

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's son
I'm creeping death
