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 burned 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 undergound

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 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

You'll go down, down, deep underground

A great disaster
