Slaves we are Slaves to Pharaoh We can't see Nothing but sorrow "All men born to the Nile will be thrown Though females will keep living on" We were made to serve with rigor Mortar and bricks made us bitter In Egypt, slavery Pain, 400 years [Chorus:] Pharaoh let my people go Or thou shalt suffer so Ten strikes upon your soul 'Till the last Egyptian fall Pharaoh let my people go Or thou shalt suffer so First blood upon the Nile Last your first-born one shall die ''Let loose your chains of wrath Upon this foul land This Is My Command! '' My people in pain My efforts in vain I yearn for your aid Show me the way! So god strengthen the heart of the king For him to feel the pain within We were made to serve with rigor Building the pyramids we feel so shuddered In Egypt, slavery No rebellion, 400 years [Chorus] The angel of death Passing over Hebrew's houses Killing the first born sons To set the nation free.
