Description I send a pestilence and plague 
Into your house, into your bed 
Into your streams, into your streets 
Into your drink, into your bread 
Upon your cattle, on your sheep 
Upon your oxen in your field 
Into your dreams, into your sleep 
Until you break, until you yield 
I send the swarm, I send the horde 
Thus saith the Lord 

Mufasa:
Once I called you brother 
Once I thought the chance 
to make you laugh 
Was all I ever wanted... 
(I send the thunder from the sky 
I send the fire raining down)
And even now I wish that God 
had chose another 
Serving as your foe on his behalf 
Is the last thing that I wanted... 

Chorus: 
I send a hail of burning ice 
On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town 

Mufasa:
This was my home 
All this pain and devastation 
How it tortures me inside 
All the innocent who suffer 
From your stubbornness and pride... 

Chorus:
I send the locusts on a wind 
Such as the world has never seen 
On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk 
Until there's nothing left of green 
I send my scourge, I send my sword 
Thus saith the Lord! 

Mufasa:
You who I called brother 
Why must you call down another blow? 
Let my people go 
Thus saith the Lord!

Scar:
You who I called brother 
How could you have come to hate me so? 
Is this what you wanted? 
Then let my heart be hardened 
And never mind how high the cost may grow 
This will still be so: 
I will never let your people go... 

(Song - 'The Plagues' from The Prince Of Egypt Soundtrack)
The Lion King (c) Disney
*Some screencap references were used (mostly for Mufasa)*

I rarely redo old pieces of art, but I still like some of my old ideas, this is one of them. I imagine if Simba had never existed and thus the murder never took place (but Mufasa died some other way), something like this would probably happen between Mufasa and Scar. Being that Scar is naturally selfish and power-hungry, and has no compassion for the kingdom's 'people'. I always thought of Moses and Rameses as being somewhat similar to them in that way. Not to mention the story of Moses is one of the many influences behind TLK's story. And yes, I know Mufasa and Scar are real brothers; while Moses and Rameses aren't actually related, I have seen both films, so no need to bring that up please.

Actually, the Moses parallels are kinda subtle in the movie. Same goes for the Joseph parallels. I heard sometime ago that it was just hearsay that The Lion King was influenced by the histories of Joseph and Moses. Someone preached about it in one of our churches in the Arab Emirates. 

Moses and Ramses' relationship is actually nothing but dramatic license. Since there were other children in the pharaoh's palace, Moses may have interacted with them. But Ramses, as inferred by me after reading the Bible, is not a real character, while Moses is.

I think I once owned the Prince of Egypt on VHS when I was little. Either I never watched it or all of it went over my head, I was so young. That seems to happen with a lot of movies I never liked/watched as a kid that people seem to love, lol.
