Angel of Death

Oh my God There's millions of them I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a`blazing Throwing up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burnt alive They went down, down Deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot line I've seen two world wars I've seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An Angel of death descending to destroy the human race Down, down Deep underground A great disaster In the sixteenth century There was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century An Angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust of the likes of which this planet had never seen Now, I ask you, do you believe this to be true? I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man, so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane He went down, down Deep underground A great disaster We'll go down, down Deep underground A great disaster You'll go down, down Deep underground
