Excellent lyrics! It's so interesting to see this story told from a different point of view - evil's pov. Now Moses and God are supposed to look like the bad guys, which of course Satan would see them as. I'm guessing that "And Hell for those that dwelt Beneath a Pharaoh's granite hand" is referring to the slaves. Funny how there's hardly any mention of the evils the pharaoh did to the slaves, and yet Moses is soooo evil for trying to free them. And we're supposed to feel sorry for the pharaoh when his firstborn child dies. What about all the people that died because of him? BUT we must realize that this is what happens when it's told from Satan's pov. A failing attempt in making the good side look evil.
But the lyrics are very well written. I think my favorite line is "Thenceforth the Nile reddened as if Set stretched his hand to beset the damned" I love the way Dani tells of each plague that happened. Very interesting song!
