[Hebrew text] ('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
[Hebrew text] ('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 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 kingdom of heaven I'm calling your name...
Hear me!
I've seen the light shining from above
[Hebrew text] ('The Lord make his face shine upon thee' [Numbers 6:25])
[Hebrew text] ('End 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 a far 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
