A few errors.

Beg at my feet, not bed at my feet
The next night, not the best night
We cannot let them go, not we cannot let the go

Also, ancient Egyptians, and even a lot of modern ones, believed in multiple Gods.

But it's a great, and funny, story

[Speak in Silence]

okay, thanks :)

[Steven Cash]
