Creeping Death

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]

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

[Chorus: James Hetfield]

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 first-born Pharaoh son

I'm creeping death

[Verse 2: James Hetfield]

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

[Chorus: James Hetfield]

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 first-born Pharaoh son

I'm creeping death

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: James Hetfield, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Cliff Burton & Kirk Hammett]

Die by my hand (Die, die)

I creep across the land (Die, die)

Killing first-born man (Die, die, die)

Die by my hand (Die, die)

I creep across the land (Die, die)

Killing first-born man (Die, die, die)

[Verse 3: James Hetfield]

I rule the midnight air, the destroyer

Born, I shall soon be there, deadly mass

I creep the steps and floor, final darkness

Blood, lamb's blood-painted door I shall pass

[Chorus: James Hetfield & Cliff Burton]

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 first-born Pharaoh son

I'm creeping death
