Angel of Death

Lyrics

(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 1939
 I've seen Hitler's Stormtroopers
 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 16th century there was a French philosopher
 By the name of Nostradamus
 Who prophesised that in the late 20th 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
 We'll go down, down
 Deep underground
 A great disaster
 You'll go down, down
 ♪
 Deep underground
 ♪
 (I think that they're gone now)
