Song 15 of 25

 Hunt Them Down 

“Hunt Them Down” is Pharaoh’s return to fury, a dark, militaristic hip hop anthem driven by vengeance, grief, and the collapse of reason. It is the sound of an empire waking from mourning and rising into rage. The number blends trap percussion, body-stomp choreography, Egyptian modal chants, and cinematic brass into a relentless pursuit theme that propels the story toward the Red Sea climax. The tone is dangerous, fevered, and electrifying.
The song opens with a low, pulsing beat that mimics heavy marching boots. Spears strike the ground in ritual unison as Pharaoh’s elite guard forms a living drumline around him.

Song Lyrics

[PHARAOH:]

“[(spoken – chilling calm, close to mic, slight reverb)]
They talked / They danced
They mocked / My town! My crown!
Now they wander / Now they kneel
Now we ride / We strike them down”

[ENSEMBLE:]

“[(chant – deep, slow, full chest resonance, heavy stomp accents)]
Strike the dust
Call the steel
Show my wrath
Show I’m real”

[PHARAOH:]

“[(sung – deliberate, icy, strings pulsing beneath)]
My son is gone
And yet they walk
I drown in grief
And yet they talk
They think the sea
Will be their friend
But tides are chains
And I won’t bend “

[ENSEMBLE: [(chant – louder, layered octaves, spears striking ground in rhythm)]

“Their promised land?
Cut their breath!
Let them see
Their promised death! “

[PHARAOH:]

“[(rap sequence – measured but venomous, trap beat enters with heavy sub-bass, marching cadence under)]
The walls I built, they tore them down
I ruled in peace / Now they’ll drowned
My firstborn’s bed was carved in gold
Now his warmth, his blood is cold
You want Exodus?
Then earn the cost
I was Pharaoh
Now I am lost
They cracked the gods
They cracked the air
Now I’ll chase them
Until they tear
They thought they could, flee
Now at the Red, Sea
I’ll be where I should, be
Until they’re dead, see “

[GUARDS:]

“[(shout, synchronized stomps and spear strikes, militaristic cadence)]
Hunt them down!
Break their line!
Dust to dust
Time to time!”

[PHARAOH:]

“[(sung – high fury, brass surging, strings in sharp tremolo)]
Let their cries
Be swallowed whole
Let their bodies
Pay the toll
I was kind
And all was fine
I gave mercy
Not this time!”

[CLOSING]

“[slow, thunderous stomping echo, low drones fading, horse hooves swell again.] “

[PHARAOH: [(spoken – commanding, sharp, over sudden silence):]

“Ride”

[ENSEMBLE:]

“[(chant in echo, widening reverb, stomps continuing underneath):]
Hunt them down
Hunt them down
Hunt them down
Hunt them down
Now”
