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

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 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 disaster

He went down, down, deep underground... a disaster

He went down, down... deep underground...
