As Pirâmides de Faraó

The Pyramids of Pharaoh
The Bible tells that a long time ago
The people of Israel were enslaved there in Egypt
Where they were forced to build pyramids day and night, non-stop
There was a king in Egypt called Pharaoh
He was a very wicked king, this Pharaoh
Oh oh oh, I am a powerful king
Oh oh oh, I enslaved all these people
Oh oh oh, I am a powerful king
Oh oh oh, I enslaved all these people
While the slaves built pyramids non-stop
They also prayed night and day for God to set them free
Oh oh oh, hear our plea
Oh oh oh, God relieve our pain
Oh oh oh, hear our plea
Oh oh oh, God relieve our pain
So Moses went to Pharaoh to say what God commanded
The people of Israel have to leave, for the Lord has ordered it
Oh
Oh oh oh, let my people go
Oh oh oh, to worship me, oh oh, let my people go
Oh oh oh, to worship me
Pharaoh hardened his heart, no one will leave from here
(What? After all, I am the Pharaoh of Egypt
And who is this God of my slaves to command me?
Ha, besides, I have many pyramids to build hahaha)
God insisted, let my people go or Egypt I will strike
Oh oh oh, Egypt will suffer
Oh oh oh, until you obey me
God then sent ten plagues, let my people go
When God showed his power
Pharaoh had to obey (finally)
Oh oh oh, I let your people go
Oh oh oh, I let them go in peace
Oh oh oh, make Israel depart
Oh oh oh, also pray for me
(Ha, Pharaoh is the biggest liar, huh)
