Creeping Death

A biblical thrash anthem from *Ride the Lightning*, 1984

Slaves, Hebrews born to serve
To the pharaoh
Be gone
They went the yoke of on and slaves
For a thousand years of sorrow

Chorus

Die, by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

Verse 2

I rule the midnight air
The destroyer
Born I shall soon be there
Deadly mass
I creep the steps and floor
Final darkness
Blood
All around you

Bridge

Back to the front, you will die when I say
You coward, you servant, you blind man, why'd you cry
When you know I'm near?

Outro

Die, by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born 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
All around you
It's the creeping death
