Creeping Death (Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA - Aug. 3rd, 1986) Lyrics

So, well, it ain't, huh
It ain't too heavy now, is it?
Are you sure about that?
Oh, yeah?
Oh, that
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
"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 son
I'm creeping death, yes

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 son
I'm creeping death

Mr. Kirk Hamster
Die, die, die, die

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

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 son
I'm creeping death, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-hey-hey, watch out
Thank you very much and goodnight
Thank you, alright (thank you)
Having some fuckin' fun tonight, thank you
Hey, man
What the fuck?
So, if you all know (you shut up for a second, alright, heck)
On top of all the fucking bullshit that's going on with this being the last gig
We also have a birthday boy in the band today, yeah, alright
This guy right here, anyone know his name?
It's a suite you could sing to him, alright

His name is James, if you didn't know (sing "Shitty birthday to you")
He's the one that they talk about on MTV, with his broken wrist here, alright
Okay, you ready? On three
One, two, four
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear James, happy birthday to you
