Escape

A new king among us
Looming war in our midst, commanded by the Pharaoh
Every born cast away, left to die

All but one, foretold to save his people

Standing on holy ground, this fire burns
I know their suffering
Free them from land to promise
I will be with you
I am who I am
Remember the covenant
Draw him out from the water, brought out from the burdens
Every born cast away, left to die
All but one, foretold to save his people

Stretch out my hand and strike
Leprous hand be healed
I will be your mouth
And teach you how to speak

Hardened heart
Bridegroom of blood
He′s seen our affliction
Bow our heads and worship
Pay no regard to lying words
For you are idle

A new king among us
Looming war in our midst, commanded by the Pharaoh
Every born cast away, left to die
All but one, foretold to save his people

So strike the Nile
Turn the water into blood
The thunder and hail
And fire will rain down on earth
To alter the mind
Through the respite, go strike the dust
To bring up the plague
And in my name be set free

And in my name set free

Present your serpentine staff, but matched by wicked arts
And still remains his hardened heart

You have some evil purpose before your face
Stretch out your arm, that there be darkness over the land
And on the day you see my face you shall die

So let them go
Let them go

Mark the lintel with blood
Final plague shall pass over
Strike down all of the firstborns
Be gone, and in my name set free

Four centuries passed, enslaved and mistreated
And in my name set free
