MEREB: I grew up in your hometown... at least began to grow
I hadn't got to my first shave before the body blow
Egyptians in the courtyard, my family in chains
You witnessed our abduction which possibly explains
How I know you
How I know you
Before that fateful morning, my family enjoyed
A privileged existence, for my father was employed
As advisor to the king, no less, which surely rings a bell
For as you are his daughter, you probably can tell
How I know you
Yes, I know you
AIDA:
You know too much and what you say is better left unknown
And now I'm just a slave like you, our lives are not our own!
MEREB:
I never have abandoned, and nor, I think, could you
That spark of hope for freedom, no terror can subdue..
AIDA:
My only hope is silence, you've never seen my face
MEREB:
No, you remain a princess, in any time or place
