5. Song of the Handmaiden

​​

(Tia solo)

1. My life has been obedience and servitude

To cater to his every mood, I know
I served him well and I’ll receive my just reward

For loyalty to my gracious Lord Pharaoh.

​​

(Tia and Kemsit)

And I will gladly follow him always
He has my years, my months, my weeks, my days.

If his path to death is dark I’ll keep it lit
My life is his to use as he sees fit.

​

CHORUS (Tia and Kemsit)

My Pharaoh was my world
I dreamt someday I’d be his wife.

My Pharaoh take me with you

To the glor-ious af-ter-life.​​

​

CHORUS (all)

My Pharaoh was my world
I dreamt someday I’d be his wife.

My Pharaoh take me with you

To the glor-ious af-ter-life.
