Esther to King & Haman - sung to The First Cut is the Deepest
Ken Klein

I'm remembering those sweet younger days
Now I'm abandoning those young girlish ways
And in my dreams I see the world all ablaze
And the knife descends again!

Don't let him slaughter my people!
Don't let him slaughter my people!
Just to satisfy his wanton blood lust
He'd have you sacrifice the meek and the just!
Don't let him slaughter my people -- Achashvarosh
Don't let him slaughter my people!

When Uncle Mordy said to be your wife
I surrendered all the dreams of my life
But I couldn't then foresee the knife
And that the blade could strike again!

Don't let him slaughter my people!
Don't let him slaughter my people!
What brought us here - God, kismet or fate
Oh!, King, reverse yourself before it's too late just!
Don't let him slaughter my people -- Achashvarosh
Don't let him slaughter my people!
