('Every born son you shall cast into the Nile' [Exodus 1:22]) |
|
|
|
Many sleepless nights |
|
Far too many troubled days |
|
The prophets are grim at thought |
|
The oracles have spoken |
|
Dark and gloomy eyes turned hellish red in mind |
|
Every born son you shall cast into the Nile! |
|
And I know for sure that they won't endure |
|
Something's got to give |
|
They will crumble down |
|
Show them no remorse |
|
Make them feel the pain |
|
Spill the blood of every son, for this is not in vain |
|
|
|
Be silent my child, be silent my child |
|
Your tender cry, visions in your eyes |
|
And I won't let go, no, I won't let go |
|
Embracing you, my child |
|
Stay with me |
|
|
|
('And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, Whom the lord knew face to face, in all the signs and the wonders, Which the Lord sent to him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, And to all his servants, and to all his land, and in all that mighty hand, And in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel' [Deuteronomy 34:10-12]) |
|
|
|
Distant sound of evil getting closer with each step |
|
I must hide before they reach |
|
Quick, hide before they breach |
|
|
|
I know that they look for you |
|
You're safe with me |
|
God holds your hand |
|
Silent screams |
|
For if they hear us, |
|
it will be the end of his life |
|
I'll sacrifice myself for you, my child |
|
I'll sacrifice my soul |
|
|
|
My gracious God, please send me an angel |
|
with crystal white wings, |
|
which under it we safely abide |
|
No evil can harm us |
|
Holy savior, protector of the Kingdom of Heaven, |
|
I'm calling your name |
|
Hear me! |
|
|
|
I've seen the light shining from above! (x2) |
|

('And she took for him an ark of bulrushes and put the child therein, and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.' [Exodus 2:3]) |
|
|
|
Hush my baby, don't you cry |
|
My love for you is eternal |
|
Like the everlasting fire, |
|
you light up the darkest corner of my soul |
|
God please, God please hold his hand |
|
Protect him from our sins |
|
Show your grace, bless the child |
|
Watch him from afar as he floats along the Nile |
|
Aimlessly drifting |
|
Washed away with all my tears |
|
My sorrow, my pain! |
|
A tear drop falling ripples my reflection |
|
And I can't let go |
