Creeping Death (Live at the Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA – Mar. 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
