Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x4
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
 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
Now
 Let my people go, land  of Goshen
I will  be with thee, bush  of fire
Blood
 Running red and strong  down the Nile
Plague
 Darkness three days long,  hail to fire
 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
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
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 doors,  I shall pass
 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
