[Intro: James Hetfield]
Come on, people!
Shoot!

[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, yeah-eah

[Chorus: James Hetfield]
So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one

Hey, I'm creeping death

[Verse 2: James Hetfield]
Now, let my peoplе go, land of Goshen
Go, I will be with thee bush of fire
Blood, running rеd and strong down the Nile
Plague, darkness three days long, hail to fire, yeah-eah-eah yeah

[Chorus: James Hetfield]
So let it be written, so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
Hey, I'm creeping death, -ah!
So creep all motherfucker!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: James Hetfield, Jason Newsted & Kirk Hammett]
Die by my hand (Die, die, die, die)
I creep across the land, killing first-born man (Die, die, die, die)
Die by my hand (Die, die, die, die)
I creep across the land, killing first-born man (Die, 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, oh motherfuckin' yeah-eah-eah

[Chorus: Jason Newsted, James Hetfield & Jason Newsted]
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

[Outro: James Hetfield & Jason Newsted]
Yeah-eah-eah
Oh yeah!
