Black Sabbath wrote a song, After Forever, asking if one ever stops to consider death without Christ. Metallica explored themes from Exodus in Creeping Death.

Inspired by an exchange on the X platform, we consider what a song based on the events in Numbers might look like in the hands of Guns N’ Roses. This is meant to be sung to the tune of Welcome to the Jungle.

Walkin’ in the desert, is not fun and games
We left everything behind
Moses, counted the names

We are the people God did find
enslaved by Pharoah’s greed
We took all his money, honey,
and crossed thru the seas

In the desert, walkin’ in the desert
This should bring us to our sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees, knees
Mwah, uh, we’re those of Abram’s seed

Walkin’ in the desert, we take it day by day
If you want it you’re gonna heed, now go enter and go slay
And there are very juicy grapes, you’re very hard to please
You can taste the honey but you won’t listen to me

In the desert, walkin’ in the desert
Feel my, my, my, my sore feeeet
Oh, I, I want to cross that stream

Walkin’ in the desert, it gets worse here every day
We gripe to Him, we’re quite a handful
in the desert we do stray

We just got a hunger for meat you see
serpents continually
If you find you’re bitten just look
to get better and the snakes will flee

In the desert, walkin’ in the desert
This should bring us to our sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees, knees
Mwah, we’re those of Abram’s seed

And when you’re wrong, you’ll never ever enter the land
the land, the land, the land
Yeah

You know where you are?
You’re in the desert, baby
You’re gonna die
