FAI STUDIOS - Tyrant Rising lyrics

Artist: FAI STUDIOS

album: Ballads of the Exodus (Theatrical Edition)


TYRANT RISING (BALLADS OF THE EXODUS)
On the 5th day of the 4th month Pharaoh died
Another rose in his place with evil in his eyes
He was a strong man with a face like stone
He was a cruel man oh how my people groaned
Under his heavy heavy hand
As prisoners in his land
Longing to be free
Longing to take a stand
I saw I saw a tyrant rising
In the place of the King that died
With darkness in his eyes
I saw I saw my people despising
The covenant of old
And their God who was hiding
Amidst their oppression
The promises of old
Passed on by those who've gone before
To our fathers who told
What must be nothing more than fables and lore
Are the promises true or lies, Are we fools or wise
To cling to them when all our lives Have been swallowed by
An oppression that's stealing the light from our eyes
We've been bruised, cast down and broken
Still we lean into the promises spoken
That one day we would free in the land
Tilling the soil given to Abraham
I saw I saw a tyrant rising
In the place of the King that died
With darkness in his eyes
I saw I saw my people despising
The covenant of old
And their God who was hiding
Amidst their oppression
