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)

*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.
