Through the gates they came to Egypt, Staff in hand before the throne. Gold and incense filled the chamber, Pharaoh watched them cold as stone. Moses stood before the ruler, Aaron raised his voice on high: Thus has spoken God of Israel! Let My people go! LET MY PEOPLE GO! Pharaoh laughed before his servants: Who is He that I obey? Who is this God of your fathers? Why should slaves be freed today? I know nothing of your master! Israel belongs to me! Take your dreams back to your people! They will never Be set free! Crown of gold! Heart of stone! Sitting high Upon your throne! You have heard The words of God! Still you answer: NO! HEART OF PHARAOH! Harder than the stone! HEART OF PHARAOH! Cold upon the throne! You can raise your walls to heaven! You can carve your name in stone! But a kingdom built on bondage WILL NOT STAND ALONE! Aaron cast his staff before him, There it twisted on the ground. Pharaoh called his priests and wise men, Serpents writhed and coiled around. Staff met staff before the ruler, Fang and scale across the floor. Aaron's serpent swallowed theirs, Still the king Defied the Lord! Who is your God? YOU SHALL KNOW! Who commands me? YOU SHALL KNOW! Who can break the crown of Egypt? YOU SHALL KNOW! HEART OF PHARAOH! Harder than the stone! HEART OF PHARAOH! Cold upon the throne! You have seen the sign before you! Still you will not let them go! So the river Shall bear witness! And all Egypt SHALL KNOW! One command Before the throne: LET! MY! PEOPLE! GO!
